Ex-Mexico Leader Faces Arrest for Genocide

Friday, July 23, 2004

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO, Associated Press Writer

MEXICO CITY - A special prosecutor has requested the arrest of former
President Luis Echeverria and other senior officials accused of
genocide for allegedly ordering the killing of student demonstrators
in 1971, Echeverria's attorney said Friday.

It is the first time a former Mexican president has faced criminal
charges, and the case threatens to create a political confrontation
between President Vicente Fox and Echeverria's Institutional
Revolutionary Party - still the largest force in Congress.

Special Prosecutor Ignacio Carrillo carried nine heavy cardboard boxes
of evidence into a courthouse at Mexico City's Northern Prison late
Thursday and turned them over to personnel there. However, he refused
to comment on the case.

Mexican laws limit what prosecutors can say before a judge's ruling.

"I know that he asked for arrest orders against my clients for
genocide," attorney Juan Velazquez told The Associated Press.

He represents Echeverria, former Interior Secretary Mario Moya and
former Attorney General Julio Sanchez Vargas.

In the June 10, 1971, attack, a government-organized group attacked
student protesters, and 11 people died.

The judge handling the case has 24 hours to rule on Carrillo's
request. Velazquez said it was unclear when the judge received the
case.

Fox promised while campaigning for the presidency to lift the veil of
secrecy and impunity over so-called "past crimes," massacres of
student demonstrators in 1968 and 1971 and the "dirty war" by
government forces against radical guerrillas and their supporters in
the 1960s and 1970s.

But the effort has angered powerful figures in the Institutional
Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which ruled Mexico from 1929 until Fox's
election in 2000.

The party, which has the largest bloc in Congress, recently threatened
to restrict cooperation with Fox if Echeverria was charged. Party
leaders said Friday they are helping organize a team of top lawyers to
defend those charged.

Velazquez argued that an arrest warrant would be improper.

"There was no genocide ... in the sense of a state policy of
exterminating a population," he said.

Velazquez said the incident was "a confrontation."

"There is not a single proof of criminal responsibility by any of
those I defend," he said.

Velazquez also noted that under Mexican law in effect at the time, the
crime of genocide had a 30-year statute of limitations that he said
expired on June 10, 2001.

While Mexico endorsed an international treaty in 2002 eliminating that
statute of limitations, Velazquez argued it cannot be applied
retroactively.

Carrillo earlier said the statute of limitation issue was for the courts to
decide.

Przemilczane ludobójstwo Ormian w Turcji

[Gość: Sewan]

Ten sam kongres USA do dnia dzisiejszego nie chce ze względów politycznych
potępić ludobójstwa Ormian w Turcji w 1915 r., w wyniku którego wymordo-
wano w barbarzyński sposób 1,5 miliona Ormian chrześcijan. Ludobójstwo to
potępiły np. Francja, Włochy czy Grecja, ale USA wciąż uciekają od tego
problemu, gdyż Turcja jest ważnym sojusznikiem w wojnie w Iraku oraz flanką
NATO w Azji. Przeciwko uznaniu tego ludobójstwa w kongresie USA osobiście
interweniowali prezydenci George Bush sr i Bill Clinton. To najlepszy
przykład hipokryzji amerykańskiej polityki.
