What "I ask the government, which I would like to see in the country, is to first investigate things and then put him one to jail, because it is not fair to deprive you of freedom and then you say you're innocent, "said Magdalena García Durán, who was considered indigenous Mazahua few days ago a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International, after earning his absolute freedom the failure to show any of the allegations that the state government of Mexico was charged for his alleged involvement in social movements in San Salvador Atenco in May 2006.

García Durán remained jailed 18 months five days, initially accused of organized crime. As the authorities have found no such accusation, involved in other crimes, including unlawful of freedom, but it was innocent and that he attributed to two other crimes, but neither was credited his responsibility because he was arrested on May 4, 2006, while preparing to sell fruit and fried to Atenco.

Yesterday, after leaving the prison of Molino de Flores, in Texcoco, his first wish was to stay in the camp that kept people of Atenco outside the prison, and demand that the authorities first and then inquire in jail, because, although he said will not be the first nor the only, "there are people that after 10, 15 or more years, leaving acquitted."

"I leave happy, but also sad because it was in people who do not knew, with whom I had no contact in Atenco, but here I met and with whom I shared many things. "García Durán lives in the town of Chimalhuacan, his mistake was to have been trading on May 4, 2006 in Atenco .

"I lost a long time, they stole me and my family, my six children, the child who is 13 years, and my grandchildren were born while I was imprisoned," he said when interviewed at the office of vehicles crossing the prison.

Through tears, he called for justice for the 184 arrested in San Salvador Atenco, of which 23 remain in prison (three in the prison's maximum security Altiplano formerly La Palma, in Almoloya de Juárez), while the other 160, although they are free on bail, still face criminal proceedings.

The Mazahua left the prison with his fist raised, and after being received by his lawyer, Barbara Zamora, recalled how she was arrested: "I was inside the truck carrying my stuff. He wore potatoes, pork rinds, watermelon, mango, pineapple. I was about to start preparing my stuff, when suddenly-appeared many ants running riot-hit the van with their guns and truncheons. I came down, kicked me, threatened me, gave me homer, I even stole my chain with the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe and St. Jude.

"They told me I would be killed like a dog, I would be beheaded. Then I grabbed the braid and dragged along the street until a pickup truck.

"Then I went to a truck and brought people run. Did not want to step on them because they were bloody. The smell was pervasive. Then two female police officers said 'pass it here, right now we'll chop off your head. " I crawled to the back of the truck. So as I was, over many, many were thrown over us. He could not breathe and asked God a lot that they moved a little. A commander took the truck and ordered the police stop doing that and its chaos, but they also said 'if someone moves, kill it'. "

Following the release of García Durán, lawyer Barbara Zamora recalled that the release was achieved after four injunctions promoting and celebrating 100 hearings "partial performances manipulated and local judges who obeyed instructions from the state government" so the decision had to be the holder of the Ninth District Court based in Nezahualcoyotl, Mauricio Torres, which forced the authorities mexiquenses to recognize the absolute innocence of the Mazahua.
