Práxedes Giner Durán

Práxedes Giner Durán (February 15, 1893 – May 13, 1978) was a Mexican military official, politician, and member of the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He participated in the Mexican Revolution as a part of Pancho Villa's famed División del Norte and became an icon in his home state. He was the Governor of Chihuahua from 1962 until 1968.

In 1965, while serving as governor, he allegedly ordered the massacre of a group of farmers and teachers who were protesting for land reform in the town of Ciudad Madera, and ordered that the bodies be buried in a mass grave.
