A coalition of organizations from Pasadena demonstrated outside the facilities of the Mexican Consulate in El Paso in support of the Labor lawyer, Susana Prieto Terrazas, who remains in detention by Mexican authorities.
About 37 civil society organizations within the United States have attached their names to a letter of support that is planned to be delivered shortly to the Tamaulipas state National Human Rights Commission.
“Not only to the Tamaulipas government, or to the Chihuahua government, but to the Mexican federal government, that they do everything to free Susana Prieto now, already, today. I think it is clear that what is happening to Susana Prieto and her family is one of the worst attacks against social fighters and rights fighters and human rights fighters in Mexico”said Fernando García, director of the Border Network for Human Rights.
