Congressman Smith Urges Nestora Salgado's Release on 2 Year Anniversary of Arrest

Statement

Congressman Adam Smith released the following statement on the two year anniversary of Nestora Salgado's arrest:

"For two years, Nestora has been denied due process and justice by the Mexican government. It is entirely unacceptable that she remains imprisoned in conditions that threaten her life. A Mexican federal court and many civil society and human rights groups including experts from the United Nations have all called for long overdue action. I continue to urge the United States government and the Mexican government to take immediate action to secure Nestora's release. I will keep doing all I can to fight for her."
