President Andrés Manuel López Obrador He did not rule out the possibility of attending to Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán’s request to return to Mexico, this due to the “psychological torture” of which he is a victim in the ADX Florence prison in the United States.
“When it comes to human rights, there are international channels and instances. Then it is not to rule out because the principal of human rights is The right to life”, he said in his conference this Wednesday.
José Refugio Rodríguez, Guzmán Loera’s lawyer, affirmed that his client suffers from discrimination in the prison where he is being held in Colorado because he is prohibited from speaking Spanish and communicating with other inmates, in addition to the fact that he is allowed fewer calls to family members.
“The sun doesn’t hit it, the food is of terrible quality, there is no health; he was sick with some teeth and instead of curing them, they took them off so that I was not bothering,” he said in an interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva for Radio Formula.
‘El Chapo’ considers that his extradition process to the United States, carried out during the administration of former President Enrique Peña Nieto, had various violations of due process, for which he requested the help of the Government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador to return to Mexico.
The litigant sent this request in an email addressed to Esteban Moctezuma, Mexico’s ambassador to the US. The office confirmed that it turned the request over to the Foreign Ministry.
“But we have to see if it proceeds or not, if we have, as Marcelo (Ebrard) mentions, the possibility, the power to do it,” López Obrador added.
And what did Ebrard say?
In the chancellor’s opinion, the drug trafficker’s request has little chance of success.
The Secretary of Foreign Relations stressed that Guzmán Loera is serving a sentence handed down by the US justice (Life imprisonment plus an additional 30 years in prison).
“I don’t see any possibilities for it, frankly, but I’m going to review it”Ebrard said in statements to the media.
