AZMEX UPDATE2 9 NOV 2017


Comment: Not to forget that Mexico has a de facto death penalty, not in the courts, but on the streets. Used very frequently. Many observers believe it to be a result of the culture of corruption. Especially of the courts, prosecutors and law enforcement. Although Mexico is not alone in that problem of the judiciary, the USA seems to be trying hard to catch up over the past few years. "does not solve problems"? Rubén will not be committing any more crimes in Texas.

The National Commission for Human Rights (CNDH) regretted that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles of Freedom ignored the requests of the Mexican government and international and local organizations to postpone and commute the death sentence of the Mexican Rubén Ramírez Cárdenas, 47 old.

"It is regrettable that this exists, because it is proven that the death penalty does not solve the problems of justice and it can incur injustice and is irreversible," said the national ombudsman, Luis Raúl González Pérez.

In an interview, the president of the CNDH reproached that these practices still exist in the world, and recalled that in Mexico the death penalty is not practiced.

Gonzalez Perez said that the commission in charge sent a respectful letter to the US authorities, requesting "that this penalty not be carried out, that it be reviewed and replaced, and well, the closure prevails in this and other issues today."

Asked about the first anniversary of the election of President Donald Trump, the head of the CNDH considered that his election has represented a "regression for human rights."

This, given that it has shown a rejection of the dignity of the people and, even, to his own American citizens, when he looks for to revert laws or agreements in matter of environment.

He adds his racist and xenophobic policy against migration, without forgetting the hate speech he has proclaimed during his tenure, "that is why, almost a year after the Trump presidency, it has been a terrifying year for human rights" .

The ombudsman celebrated the appointment of Nasheli Ramírez Hernández as head of the Human Rights Commission of the Federal District (CDHDF) and expressed the full support of the national body for capital management.

"She is a civilian fighter for the defense of human rights and children in particular, there was a expression of civil society and I believe that the designation of Nasheli will be an augury for the defense of human rights in Mexico City. and will have all the support of the CNDH, "said González Pérez.
