GOOD NEWS! All charges dropped against torture survivor Claudia Medina Tamariz
“Please pass on my gratitude to everyone who supported me in Canada"
Dear Tracy,
All charges have been dropped against Claudia Medina Tamariz, the Mexican woman who was tortured and forced into a false confession in 2012.
Thank YOU for playing a part in this moment of celebration!
We met Claudia last year while in Mexico for the launch of a major Amnesty International report on the widespread use of torture in Mexico. Meeting Claudia was a highlight of this important human rights mission to Mexico.
As my colleague Kathy Price, who joined me on this human rights mission, says in her account of this tremendous victory, this is the second piece of heartwarming news to follow our visit to Mexico. It was only a few months ago that we celebrated the release from prison of Ángel Amílcar Colón, who had also been tortured and wrongfully detained for "confessing" to crimes he did not commit.
Please accept the deep gratitude of Claudia, who wishes you to know that:
“The charges would not have been dismissed without the help of all of you."
