Comments on: Supreme Court Decides Cacho’s Rights Not Violated Enough http://www.mexicoreporter.com/2007/11/30/supreme-court-decides-cachos-rights-not-violated-enough/ Multi-media reporting from Mexico Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:15:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Timmy Minshall http://www.mexicoreporter.com/2007/11/30/supreme-court-decides-cachos-rights-not-violated-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-12991 Timmy Minshall Wed, 14 Sep 2011 03:02:11 +0000 http://mexicoreporter.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/supreme-court-decides-cachos-rights-not-violated-enough/#comment-12991 And fuck the Tim Lincecum is having an off-year excuse. Cole Hamels, Phillies ace, went from a 3.08era/142 ERA+ in 2008 to a 4.32/98 in 2009. The Phillies won their division, the LDS and the NLCS anyway. Why? Because the Phillies front office is smarter than the Giants front office. They went out and got a Cliff Lee, let Brett Myers go as a Type A free agent after the 2009 season, and picked up a great draft choice from Houston as a result.

During her detention, she was victim of torture and numerous due process of law violations with the direct participation of the state authorities of Puebla. After a twenty months investigation undertook by the Supreme Court, the Judges decided that the human rights violations were not proved. On November 29th the Supreme Court voted against the special report presented on the case of Lydia Cacho, that gave count of several human rights violations and systematic gender based violence orchestrated by the Governor of the State of Puebla, Mario Marin. Supreme Court Judge Juan Silva Meza, who was in charge of the investigation, concluded that Mrs. Cacho was victim of serious human rights violations, including psychological torture and numerous due process violations. Nonetheless the Supreme Court overthrown the findings of the investigation 6 to 4 votes, constituting a mayor set back on freedom of expression in Mexico. ARTICLE 19 regrets the Court decision to withdraw Judge’s Silva Meza conclusion and reiterate Mexico’s responsibility to investigate and prosecute human rights violations. Aggression against journalists enjoys one main objective, that is to silence the messenger. Lydia Cacho overcome the violence and fear an stepped up before the Court and pointed out her aggressors, but as in many similar cases in the country the Mexican State has been unable to provided justice. Impunity had become the biggest threat on freedom of expression in the country and the Mexican State has yet to fulfill its international obligations under international law. ARTICLE 19, express its solidarity with Mrs. Cacho and call upon the international community to support her in the struggle against impunity and the full realization of freedom of expression in Mexico Intimidation of journalists, particularly murder and physical attacks, limit the freedom of expression of all citizens, because they produce a chilling effect on the free flow of information, due to the fear they create of reporting on abuses of power, illegal activities and other wrongs against society. After the Court’s decision, justice still pending. ARTICLE 19 calls upon the Mexican State to undertake the necessary measures to protect the fundamental rights of Mrs. Cacho and the rest of the journalist that have suffered persecution in the exercise of freedom of expression.
