Activist Turn Demand Letter to the Mexican Consul in San Diego
As an introduction, posting this to raise awareness. Since the events with the 43 students. there have been an increasing number of actions.
I apologize in advance for the video, but I was in the middle of the scram. Anyhoo, the translation is the meat of this if Spanish is not your language. As I like to quip. the low grade fever in Mexico is getting higher. Yes, just like in the United States (Siegelman comes to mind) there are political prisoners in Mexico.
June 1, 2015 (San Diego) Activists from multiple community groups are outside the Mexican Consulate on India Street in downtown San Diego. Three of them are on a full hunger strike, while the rest are joining them in peacefully occupying the street.
Their demand is simple. They want Nestora Salgado, a naturalized United State Citizen to be freed from Mexican jails where she has been since 2013.
Salgado started her hunger strike on May 5th of this year, demanding freedom from the high security federal prison in Nayarit. Due to pressure, and her hunger strike, she has been transferred to the lower security prison in Tepepan, in Mexico City. There, she is getting medical attention, though activists want a neutral doctor to confirm this. She is also starting to drink liquids.
