Mexico Violates Own Constitution

Taking advantage of a days ladden with political and social pivotal events, the head of the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores (Mexico's Foreign Ministry) Luis Ernesto Derbez decided to go ahead with the extradition process against the six Basque political prisoners behind bars at the Reclusorio Norte of Mexico City.

With this decision Luis Ernesto Derbez allows Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon and Spanish Ambassador to Mexico Cristina Barrios to stomp on the Mexican Consitution that stablishes that no individual should be returned to a country were the person could face State harassment or discrimination for his or hers race, religion or political beliefs.

The Mexican Minister also stabs in the back the entire Mexican society that praises itself of being recognized around the world for its old heritage of providing safe haven for those who around the world suffer persecution, harassment, torture and even death due to their activism.

Shame on you Mr. Derbez!
