| President López Obrador said Thursday he would sign the decree next week ordering the release of federal prisoners who fall into four categories. |
They are prisoners accused of non-serious crimes who have been incarcerated for more than 10 years without a sentence; prisoners who were victims of torture regardless of the crime of which they are accused; inmates aged 65 and over with chronic illnesses who didn’t commit a serious crime such as murder; and prisoners aged 75 and over who didn’t commit a serious crime.
The decree to free such prisoners will be drawn up by the Interior Ministry and take effect by September 15, López Obrador told his regular news conference. Interior Minister Olga Sánchez said there are more than 94,000 people in prison who haven’t received a sentence. Of that number, more than 12,000 are incarcerated in federal prisons.
López Obrador said he hoped state authorities would consider releasing prisoners in the same categories from penitentiaries they operate. He said the Ministry of Health will carry out assessments of prisoners aged over 65 to determine if they are suffering from a chronic disease.
Prisoners’ claims of torture will be assessed in accordance with the United Nations Istanbul Protocol on the effective investigation and documentation of torture. The UN said in 2018 that many of the suspects accused of involvement in the disappearance of 43 students in Guerrero in 2014 were tortured. Human rights organizations have denounced Mexico for using torture as a means to obtain confessions from criminal suspects.
The federal Congress passed an amnesty law early last year that allowed the release of some prisoners. Although impunity rates are very high in Mexico, some of its prisons are severely overcrowded, a problem that could be alleviated somewhat by the upcoming mass release.
He assured that "the Ministry of the Interior has a new function", as he affirmed that the agency rejects repression and authoritarianism, as it is "for the protection of human rights and justice." López Obrador called on state authorities to apply measures similar to those proposed by the federation and ordered them to say that if the resources do not reach them, lower salaries and apply austerity measures.
It will be interesting to see who if any cartel members are to be released as it is for 'non-serious crimes' and the impact that may have on the narco landscape in Mexico. The suspects in the 43 missing students case likely will be released due to torture at the hands of officials. The possibility of appeals being filed and bribes being paid to secure releases under these guidelines is high.

Did ALMO say there are prisoners locked up over 10 years that do not have a sentence? What kinda bullshit is that? Is that true?
ReplyDeleteYes dude, there thousands of people in Mexican jails stuck in limbo
DeleteOn the realsees?
Delete@5:21 - It happens. There’s a Gulf Cartel capo who was without a sentence for close to a decade and was released not too long ago: Víctor Manuel Vazquez Mireles AKA Meme Loco.
DeleteGenerally, those who remain without a sentence for so long had their sentences overturned multiple times due to lack of evidence, etc., but then kept in jail under “investigation”. That’s one reason why the “arraigo” (preventative arrest) can be dangerous.
There are tens of thousamds of people in that limbo in Medican jails.
DeleteGee willikers.
DeleteIt doesn’t sound like there’s any court hearings or actual trials of accused. The 4th amendment don’t exist over there
DeleteYes murders are all time high but i still am almo nuthugger.
ReplyDeleteThere should be
Fuerzas Especiales Almo
Mexico is sending aid to Cuban government not the people. Children in Mexico cannot get drugs to treat cancer. The poverty is in on the increase in Mexico. Mexicans0 having hard time just surviving day to day. Remit to our family 👪 helps them. We r lucky to have jobs in the U.S. Biden brings all these illegals will probably lower wages. We work and paid for our citizenship, it toke 7 years, but we did it the right way. Not fair these illegals can jump in front of the line. Well I will remember comes election time. Biden does not care about the working class. We fix your car, plumbing, A/C, electrical, and build your house. We also pay our taxes. God Bless this wonderful U.S.A.
ReplyDeleteYou voted for Trump, he lost, now you do complain about Biden. Double standard. I see your point, but you did not mention anything about Obradors high homicide rate occurring daily.
DeleteAgree I did forget the high Homside rate in Mexico. The U.S. is getting there also. Defunding police doesn't seem to work, it's not a Democrat problem in the big cities, just good common sense. Less police and Judges who let criminals out with no bond, higher crime rates. Criminal paradise. Police are leaving the Defunded Cities.
Delete327 No Mijo the USA will never have a high yearly homicides as Mexico does.
DeleteMexico is #1 in the world of homicides.
Also again Mexico is the most curupt in the world. US can't beat that whatsoever.
Would really like to know What ALMOs idea of what a Serious Crime is ?
Deletefuck him
all this means is more coming illegally to USA to commit serious crime
I pray everyday Biden stays alive and does a good job. He is my President. I don't agree with him on open borders. This is a free country and that's my opinion on the border.
DeleteNo I did not say anything about Amlo high homicide rate, it's not my country. Amlo was elected by the citizens of Mexico 🇲🇽, and they believe in him. I really think the Mexico has problem, but we do to in Chicago, New York, Detroit, so how can I judge Mexico.
DeleteI agree the napoleon law in Mexico needs to be change. A least make it possible to Make Bond.
ReplyDeleteMilenio is scornful of releasing suspects in the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapos, but does not care about named suspects who have never been arrested or interrogated, much less tortured, like guerrero federal police chief Omar Hamid Garcia Harfuch.
ReplyDeleteForget the Students it's a big cover up. Probably Amlo and last president are involved
ReplyDeleteWhat is the definition of Serious crime? Procession of Shotgun or 22 a serious crime.
ReplyDeleteAMLO IS A VERY CLOSE ASSOCIATE TO KING MENCHO😌😌😌 HE KNOWS THE HUMBLE LEADER WILL REMAIN RULING MEXICO WITH AN IRON BUT EVER SO HUMBLE FIST OF FURY😀😀😀😀
ReplyDeletePS, MENCHO IS KING.
Yeah that’s why he froze all those accounts and had his son extradited!
DeleteOrale caps on lock nino.
Deletecut the bullshit, soon MIGUEL ANGEL FELIX GALLARDO will be released and claim his throne in Jalisco and will reunite the Guadalajara Cartel.
DeleteCUT IT OUT FOOLIO IGLESIAS... MENCHOS DAYS ARE NUMBERED... NOTHING LAST FOREVER...
Delete11:48 and MENCHO will sit back and alow that to HAPPEN right? 😆
DeleteDumb COMMENT
Gee willikers!
ReplyDeleteBest human thing you've done since giving residents a pass on security issues.
ReplyDeleteIs El Guero Palma included in this decree? Maybe it’s the best tactic (fingers crossed) to get rid of these new school juniors and get old school mentalities out there to control the BS in Mexico, to include ex military leaders, politicians, educators, etc.
ReplyDeleteHe is currently in prison charged with 2 murders of police officers, so doesn't fit the criteria of non-serious crimes!
DeleteOf course not, he has to stay. But so many others will be released, this torture thing will be used by many.
DeleteI would say that if they release 100 guys of torture, 80% were guilty as hell and doing EIT on them was justified.
Yes let’s bring back Salinas de Gortari el orejitas de ratón back at least back then we didn’t have all this violence in the old country
DeleteAhora resulta que porke estan enfermos necesitan libertad muchos de estos estupidos?
ReplyDeletePero pues son gasto extra teniendolos ay ocupando lugar.
Worst Mexican president ever and dats saying something there’s been alot
ReplyDeleteYou don't know what your talking about. Do your homework before commenting a lo pendejo.
DeleteGreatest Communist of 🇲🇽 ever
DeleteHey 318 cool flag is that the Mexican flag or the Italian flag, I like the colors, I am very happy you put in the flag.
DeleteGreatest president since Lazaro Cardenas and Benito Jaurez. Doesn't bow down to the U.S and is effectively moving Mexico in the right direction through social programs, infrastructure projects and political reform.
DeleteLol, right, coming from someone who doesn't know how to spell "that's" go back to night school tonto.

ReplyDeleteSalazares killed in cd obregon
Send it to BB Gmail account it's on the website.
DeleteTorture victims were in prison, and will be set free? So if I get tortured and live I go to prison.
ReplyDeleteTalk about Mexico's stupid laws.
Pinchi Obrador no save lo que dice.
DeleteProf AMLO is 8n bed with criminals.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad
Now, all he has to do to make everything right is demand the US govt with Sleepy Joe at the helm to extradite Senor Guzman who is older ailing back home to Sinaloa. The poor man cant sleep with them damn lights constantly in his eyes and the continuous barking of German attack dogs that are trained to hate La Raza.
ReplyDeleteQueso is that you again picking on Biden,you he is doing a better life than T did. Sore loser.
DeleteLol biden is half dead and can barely say a sentence without zoning out. Willy Browns girlfriend Kamala looked stupid in front of almo y presidente de Guatemala. US did bad electing those tontos because china wins now.
Delete1119 Biden is doing a great job 👍. We all know he is older.vNow Queso and you will use the old man card. Dirty mouth t Lost, get over it.
DeleteWhat choices were given to Americans? Trump the ego maniac who supports his vested interests & can't support a loss. Along with the fact that he spearheaded the January 6 th insurrection. Moreover, the continuation of voting fraud spewing from his mouth. Along with those Republicans who back his nonsense.
DeleteRather, have Joe Biden than a liar & cheat.
Just astonishing how many have been killed for attempting a coup. Yet he remains unscathed and in control of the republican party. The hypocrisy of politicians and their constituents who support him.
Senor Guzman?? How about the serial rapist/killer Guzman! I don’t know what’s worse , idolizing chapo or George fentanyl floyd.. oops… sorry I’m not allowed to say that cause it’s racist and censorship is strong on this site!
Delete@7:13 I'm no fan of Trump or any political party for that matter but these elections were definitely fishy. I personally don't vote for presidents but I do walk in and vote for state and local officials along with measures that I know will affect or benefit me. It was super suspicious that the mail in ballot option was being pushed extra hard. Even based on the debates it was evident that Joe Biden wasn't as Sharp as any of his counter parts. Tulsy Gabbard slammed Kamala Harris during the democratic debates but we still got Kamala Harris as vice president. Tulsy would have been a way better candidate but she is not a part of the political establishment so instead we got our next first female presidentshoved down our throats. The U.S government is just as bad as the mexican government when it comes to corruption, the difference is the U.S does a better job of disguising it.
DeleteIf you think Joe Biden isnt a liar and a cheat you are a delusional little monkey .
Delete12:10 mail in ballots are nothing new…they were being pushed because the election was in the middle of a pandemic and a lot of older or vulnerable people wouldn’t have gone out to vote otherwise. you can’t just say the election was “fishy” and provide 0 proof of your allegations and expect to be reinstated as president, that’s something that would happen in a 3rd world country
DeleteEsa rata La Chaputa va salir muerte de colorado en una caja wey
ReplyDeleteincarcerated for more than 10 years without a sentence; what kind of fucked up system locks someone up in a Federal facility without a sentence
ReplyDeleteMr. Vargas
DeleteI regret to inform you but Mexico does, welcome to the club.
@7:14 am the united states of America . There's many cases look them up. Vicentillo zambada Las held without sentencing for a few years. Many more cases are still pending sentencing
DeleteSadly, Mexico is one of many, many countries who continue to do this. Study up
Delete3rd world countries.
DeleteNow u know
I am a Reddit kid in here I don't like it that grampa old school is picking on us. They let us play in here the moderater don't mind we live to migle tells grampa to behave.
ReplyDeleteWhy would torture victims be in prison in the 1st place?????
ReplyDeleteIn Mexico many times people are tortured into confession by law enforcement. Majority of the time the victim will spill the beans to stop the torture. Sometimes this method works, a lot of times it doesn't.
DeleteDefund Cartel, next decree by Amlo
ReplyDeleteMexico has a PENDEJO for a president
ReplyDeleteAnyone that disrespects the mothers of the men that turn out to be bad seeds as they get older shame on you! All mother's do the best they can to raise their children , most of them so don't judge
