AMLO Hasn’t Ruled Out ‘El Chapo’ Guzman’s Request to Return to Mexico
Translated excerpt:
The issue is being reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Due to the possible violation of human rights, the possibility of attending the request of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán to return to Mexico, who claims “psychological torture” at the ADX Florence prison in the United States, cannot be ruled out, said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The drug trafficker’s defense claimed that his client suffers discrimination in the prison where he is being held in Colorado, as he is prohibited from speaking Spanish and communicating with other inmates, in addition to having fewer calls allowed to family members.
In this regard, President López Obrador said in his morning conference that the issue is being reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, headed by Marcelo Ebrard.
“When it comes to human rights, there are international channels and instances. So, we can’t rule this out because the main human right is the right to life. We have to see if this can go forward or not, if we have, as Marcelo (Ebrard) mentions, the possibility, the power to do so,” he said.
*******
Even the communist AMLO sees a weak FJB so why not request it. What others are saying is due to strained relationship with the US, Mexico would use this as a reason to not extradite Chapo’s son, Ovidio, and deny the US extradition request. Regardless shows that even 3rd world sh*t hole countries run by commies and drug cartels are laughing at the US.
