Compañeras and compañeros,
We would like to share with you a request made by Alberto Patishtán (see Patishtán's letter below), the political prisoner from Chiapas. This proposal came about after the meeting that was held with his children Gaby and Hector, his legal representative, the El Bosque community and other civil organizations, this past weekend at Penitentiary No. 5 regarding the latest developments in his case. On Wednesday, September 12, the motion of Recognition of Innocence was presented before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and this Wednesday, September 26, 2012 the Supreme Court will make its final decision as to whether it will accept the Recognition of Innocence of Alberto Patishtán.
For this reason, Alberto Patishtán, Movement for Justice in El Barrio, and the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center call for:
Actions to be held at the embassies of Mexico throughout the world, this Monday, September 24. To those who are in Mexico, we ask that you deliver letters to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation or e-mail them to scjn_presidencia@scjn.gob.mx; azalvidarl@scjn.gob.mx.
What we are proposing is that you deliver a letter (a sample letter is below) addressed to the Ambassador to request that he or she forward the delivered letter to the following Justices of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation:
C. Ministro Juan N. Silva Meza, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, C. Ministro Arturo Zaldívar Lelo de Larrea, President of the First Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation
C. Ministro José Ramón Cossío Díaz, C. Ministro Guillermo I. Ortíz Mayagoitia, C. Ministro Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo, C. Ministra Olga María del Carmen Sánchez Cordero de García Villegas In the sample letter below it is requested that the First Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation assumes the original competency that the current article 561 of the Federal Code of Penal Proceedings confers upon it in order to accept the motion of Recognition of Innocence advanced by Alberto Patishtán Gómez's defense. Due to the fact that is seems unlikely that another tribunal will resolve the case in favor of Patisthán, we find it important to pressure the Supreme Court to do so.
We ask you to inform us by e-mail as soon as possible of your actions so that we may send out a press bulletin on September 24 regarding all the actions that will take place on that day. Please send e-mails to:
solidaridad@frayba.org.mx and movimientoporjusticiadelbarrio@yahoo.com
Likewise, we ask that you please send in materials from your action (photos, confirmation of receipt [of the letter], etc.) so that we may publish them and show support to Alberto.
Lastly, as noted above, we are attaching the letter template, which is only available in Spanish.
Sincerely,
Alberto Patishtán
Movement for Justice in El Barrio
