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.[2] 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.[3]
