ORIGINAL TITLE: Mexico asks California gov. to intercede for young "terrorist"
-------
FULL TEXT BELOW...
-------
"Mexico's national ombudsman has asked California Gov. Gray Davis to intercede for a Mexican-American child threatened with expulsion from a Los Angeles area school as a 'potential terrorist' after drawing pictures of planes and guns."
"Jose Luis Soberanes sent a letter to Davis asking the governor to ensure that 10-year-old Jesus Corono, who was born in the United States, be allowed to continue attending an elementary school in Fillmore, California."
"The ombudsman also sent a letter to the boy's parents offering support and expressing a desire to travel to Fillmore to familiarize himself with the circumstances surrounding the incident."
"Soberanes said that fundamental human rights transcend borders, especially in the case of a child."
"In the letter to Davis, the ombudsman said the boy's drawings of guns and warplanes had nothing to do with 'the reprehensible terrorist threat that is not only gripping the territory and the citizens of the United States, but the whole world.' Soberanes called Corona's threatened expulsion a violation of the rights of Mexican immigrants 'for the mere fact of being different.' "
QUESTIONS FOR MEXICAN LEADERSHIP, AND ESPECIALLY FOR MR. SOBERANES...
How long did Thomas Lamar Bean spend in a Mexican prison for having accidentally brought a box of ammunition into your country?
Are you aware that he still hasn't managed to regain his rights here in America?
Any sane person should agree that a child should not be expelled for school for drawing a picture. But leaders in Mexico are hardly in a position to label punishment across the border as excessive while they systematically ruin people's lives over innocent mistakes. |
