Ángel Colón
is an engineer, human rights activist and active member of the Garifuna
Afro-descendent community in Honduras. On March 9,
2009, Ángel reached Tijuana, Mexico—along the US border. He waited in the house
of the person who was going to smuggle him across the border. Mexican police
raided the house looking for drugs and arrested Ángel. Amnesty
International has adopted Angel as a prisoner of conscience and believes he
should be set free from unjust detention. The
Attorney General’s Office is investigating and a decision is expected around
October 23rd whether to convict or acquit Ángel. Call on Mexico’s Attorney
General to drop all charges against Ángel and immediately release him.
