FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5.
PROGRAM # 7712 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
The U.N.’s Working Group on Arbitrary Detention asked the Mexican government to take “necessary measures” to free Nestora Salgado and give her “appropriate compensation.” Salgado’s attorney says the resolution is obligatory for Mexico, because it signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Declaration of Human Rights. Nestora was jailed when she was working as Coordinator of Community Police in Olinalá, Guerrero. Meanwhile, in the state of Tlaxcala, 185 women have been reported missing, but authorities have not issued reports or refused to activate a search alert. This is the case of 11-year-old Karla Romero Tezmol who has been missing for the past three weeks. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts Voz Publica from Mexico City.
Guests: Ricardo Lagunes, attorney for Nestora Salgado García; (pretaped interview) Olga Tezmol Juárez, mother of Karla Romero Tezmol, missing while going to elementary school, in San Pablo del Monte, Tlaxcala; (sound bites) Miriam Pascual, Grupo de Acción Por los Derechos Humanos y la Justicia Social AC; Armando Barrera Cuevas, Red Retoño para la Prevención Social de la Delincuencia Organizada.
