                                                       PRESS RELEASE
                                          Campaign: “Journey by Nestora"
                     Release American Citizen Nestora Salgado Jailed in Mexico

A press conference will take place on Monday, January 18th 2016 at 11:00am at
26 Federal Plaza Building, New York, N Y. 100278

Human rights organizations in more than 10 cities in the United States will launch a campaign to demand the release of Nestora Salgado before the imminent appeal from her lawyers.

New York, New York, January 14th, 2016. Human rights organizations located across the United States will launch a campaign demanding the Mexican government immediately release Nestora Salgado, who is currently appealing her previous indictment in the Superior Court of the State of Guerrero.
Nestora Salgado’s lawyers are appealing her detention on the basis of absent ratification by her accusers. Under Mexican law Salgado must be immediately released. Salgado, her husband Mr. Jose Luis Avila, her lawyers and a wide network of organizations who have followed the case from the United States since she was imprisoned in August 2013 are mobilizing to put an immediate end to her unjust imprisonment.

Nestora Salgado is an American citizen born in Olinalá Guerrero, Mexico, who after making a life in the United States decided to return to her hometown in Guerrero where she witnessed human rights violations against the population, she was chosen to join the Community Police of Olinalá and serve as CRAC-PC. She was detained and confined to a maximum security prison where she was isolated and subjected to torture and violations of her human rights. The charges against Salgado include kidnapping and organized crime by individuals who never attended the criminal proceedings.

Nestora Salgado has done a hunger strike to protest the mistreatment and violations not only of her own human rights but also the abuse that Mexican civilians are subjected to by Mexican authorities. With clear damage to her health Nestora Salgado decides to continue fighting from prison so her case will be heard, in order to create a network of solidarity to support her and all civilians that are living in these circumstances of State violence. Salgado’s case is not the only one, her case represents more than 400 community police members, as well as hundreds of political prisoners in México also.

If the Mexican government and the US government continue ignoring her case, Nestora Salgado is planning a second hunger strike, which would jeopardize her health, physical integrity and life.

With this document and the "Campaing for Nestora Salgado" initiated in the United States last week, we demand from the authorities of this country, Congressmen, Senators, the US State Department and the American Embassy in Mexico to review this case and intervene immediately for the release of American citizen Nestora Salgado, jailed unjustly by the Mexican government.
