This is all over the social media, although not surprisingly hardly at all on Televisa....

Not surprised about the shun from Televisa. Yo Soy 132 is an anti-PRI movement. Doesn't Slim Helu own Televisa?
You have to cut 'n paste the entire link above to make it work.

Looks like he showed up:
------------------------------------------------
"A leader of the Mexican activist group #YoSoy132 turned up Tuesday after being listed as missing for almost a week. Aleph Jiménez, 32, was en route
to Mexico City to be questioned by authorities for undisclosed reasons, according to Mexican news outlets.
Federal custody of Jiménez in La Paz, Mexico, confirmed suspicions of human-rights groups and #YoSoy132 members that the government was somehow
involved in the case.
Days before Jiménez was declared missing Thursday, he had publicly denounced the mayor of Ensenada’s claim that police violence during a #YoSoy132
event on Sept. 15 was provoked by protesters. Jiménez had also mocked the mayor’s bid for governor of Baja California, saying that he was not even
capable of running Ensenada.
Two days before he was last seen, Jiménez told friends that an unidentified man in a black truck had been circling his home, prompting him to stay
with a friend.
“Given the recent activities of #YoSoy132 and Jiménez’s leadership role with the group in Ensenada, we presume this is another case of forced
disappearance, which is a crime against humanity,” Raúl Ramírez Baena, director of Baja’s Northeastern Citizen Commission on Human Rights, said in a
statement Saturday.
The commission had lodged a formal complaint with Amnesty International and was pressuring government officials to follow up on an investigation
launched by local police. #YoSoy132 had launched its own campaign on Facebook and Twitter (#AlephJimenezDondeEsta) to help search efforts by Jiménez’s
family and raise awareness of the disappearance.
Jiménez, a science teacher and oceanographer, joined #YoSoy132 four months ago when the group was formed to protest alleged media bias in favor of
presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto, who went on to win the election in July.
Peña Nieto and the mayor of Ensenada, Enrique Pelayo Torres, are members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)."
