5. Friday, February 11, 2011. Thus, the Court of Cassation has ruled out any possibility of changing the course of things for our fellow citizens Cassez. The facts and falsifications are known, simply read our texts after repeated below. What happened to Amparo, seat of the Court of Cassation, is the sad continuation - she sees a conclusion - the denial de justice: violations manifestes de la Constitution mexicaine, fabrication de fausses preuves reconnues en leur temps par les responsables, mépris de nombre d'accords consulaires. Maître Berton, avocat de Florence Cassez, assure avoir été informé de la décision de la Cour confirmant la condamnation de sa cliente à soixante ans de prison, un quart d'heure avant l'ouverture de la session. Les magistrats étaient à ce point sûrs de leur impunité qu'ils n'ont même pas pris soin de sauver les apparences. C'est que, lorsque le président français tenta de faire transférer la prisonnière en France, le président Felipe Calderón s'était personnellement engagé à la télévision to do everything to prevent it from leaving Mexico. The evidence here is clearly given the political subservience of the Mexican justice system.
What remains of some concern is the discretion and the softness of the French defenders of human rights in this matter. five years since the last case, which Of The World had so long entertained the suspicion, or silence (cf. infra 1: Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Cassez was thirty-four years ) , large parts of Mexican opinion itself became convinced of the scandal, despite their president: and the Catholic Church in Ignacio Morales Lechuga Mexico , former Attorney General (equivalent to Minister of Justice) have not been content to denounce the false trial, but have even expressed their conviction of "absolute innocence" of Florence Break.
Here at home in Florence Break, interventions indisputable Democrats count. And if this blindness to the misfortunes of this woman came from the fact that the friends of freedom and democracy are now prisoners of a strategy designed primarily to attack by all means, noble and ignoble, they should indeed be replaced, and cover with hatred and hostility systematic inability to provide an alternative positive credible? In a word, should be mobilized to Cassez or does it put a damper on this woman and this case to avoid speaking as the president and his foreign minister, especially when the news used to taunt the other way? Because we would be satisfied with a few words, history of supporting the only recourse remaining to Florence Break, but it will still take many years before the Supreme Court, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights or the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Nobody asks them to pick Cassez during their next vacation in Mexico.

4. Tuesday, December 8, 2009. - Florence Break today begins its fifth year in prison. It seems that some Mexican newspapers began to be moved by some dysfunctional judicial system of their country, they are supposed to be the conscience vigilantes. Here at any rate news of Cassie, an article by Eric Dussart published in La Voix du Nord of November 12, 2009, North whose young woman is born.
Break Visit to Florence and her desperate struggle. - Frank Berton just spent five days in Mexico with his client in custody in the women's prison Tepepan, where she is serving a sentence of sixty years. Cassez, very experienced, no longer concealing the depth of his despair, hangs on to his lawyer to call again his innocence. Between political struggles, corruption and mafia influence, the struggle continues.
It is cold in early November in the Centro femenil readaptacion of social Tepepan , a popular suburb of Mexico City. Cassez has drawn features a lightweight makeup can no longer hide. He now sees a few white hairs. "I gave up the dye. What good ?...» Frank Berton do not quit like appearance and makes it out gently, but she accumulated problems. It shows a portion of his back, eating bites oozing - bugs, probably.
"The penitentiary of Santa Marta (where she spent the next few weeks the worst of his life) is falling apart, then puts the prisoners in other prisons. Here, we just spent 120 to 360 people. "Bugs arrived at the same time.
Yet she had regained some energy in recent months. "I was a little sport, I restarted the library, and a deputy director, who can rent movies, we've created a film club." But none of this motivates more. "I often cry alone. I see no way out, more solution ... "
Document capital. - Frank Berton is there to support it, of course, but also to work on this issue that seems conceal parts untapped. In part cold and soulless being offered to them for these visits, that is both peeling the eleven volumes of documents and records. A bilingual journalist based in Mexico City has done a remarkable investigative work, which she pulls a book out today (1) . In particular, it unearthed a listing of entries federal police. "An important document," says Berton. It proves that Christina Rios Valladares and his son Chris Hilario, paraded as hostages during the mock arrest mounted for TV December 9, 2005, spent a day in the premises of the AFI (Federal Investigation Agency) without its it was established in Minutes.
was the day after the untimely intervention of Florence Break on TV one evening in February 2006, where, by phone, she had contradicted live Genaro Garcia Luna, director of the AFI on the date of his arrest . Two days later, the two ex-hostages "changed their testimony and the accused.
"We know now that they have spent in the meantime, a whole day with the police. That told them these? Or rather that they asked them? Or ordered? "Frank Berton - that says:" I never give up to establish the innocence this young woman "- denounces testimony made to solidify the theories police shaken by the intervention of Florence. "We knew, but this document is proof!"
pressures. - Worse, in this mountain of paper: one spontaneous testimony of Christian Hilario, the boy of 11, who denounces ... his own cousin, Edgard. "I've heard. I readily acknowledged. And a little later, the same Edgard is challenged by Christina: "One day he entered the room where a guard was with me and I heard him say:" Here, take medication for my tante"...» Edgard, qui vit toujours dans les faubourgs de Mexico avec sa famille, n'a jamais été inquiété.
Pas plus que Lupita Vallarta, la soeur d'Israël, dont la maison est reconnue par... cinq des neuf personnes que l'ex-compagnon de Florence Cassez est accusé d'avoir enlevées. Dans cette maison, ont été retrouvés des papiers d'identité et des documents commerciaux au nom d'Ezequiel Elizalde, autre «victime» imputée à Florence. Lupita n'a jamais été interrogée, pas plus qu'Alexandro Mejilla, son compagnon de l'époque et... ami du fameux Edgard.
Frank Berton tempête alors, face à sa cliente: «Pourquoi votre avocat de l'époque he has not used these exhibits at trial? Why did he not mention all those people? "His attempts to meet that lawyer will be futile. In five days he has worked, consulted widely. At half-words
careful out there, it continues to denounce the shadow of Genaro Garcia Luna on the case, after which he was appointed Minister of Internal Security. It is now the most powerful man in the government.

3. Wednesday, March 4, 2009. - According to the methods of counting, Cassez just been sentenced to between seventy and twenty years in prison. The President and the Secretary of State for Human Rights expressed concern on the eve of the presidential trip to Mexico.
In addition, he ends up being boring to note that for this single day, March 4, a dozen visitors arrived on Google after making this query: "Jewish Vallarta", "Break Jewish." Though we have already described here the phenomenon six months ago, we do not resign ourselves to that extent we see it day by day, and it also relates to names of files and more unexpected.

2. Tuesday, January 6, 2009. - Finally, for the first time World today dedicates an investigation Cassez, always under the pen of its correspondent in Mexico City, Joelle Stolz. It is a chronic which relates in detail the facts with details and references. No new information yet from the above article quoted Patrice Gouy for Cross of 18 November. The content of
his previous post of February 2, 2006 that we euphemistically described as ambiguous, which is actually fed to an unacceptable suspicion World do not always come back, still nothing explains what was then able to store and read the newspaper and influential on the side of the executioners, then that, at least as much as any news organization, he knows the happy effect that may have just the victims of miscarriages of justice denunciations.

1. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Cassez thirty-four years. - This article is Patrice Gouy, representing Mexico City Cross , November 18, 2008, the thirty-fourth birthday of Florence Break, convicted in April 2008 by a Mexican court to four- twenty to sixteen years in prison.
Since December 8, 2005, Florence Break is living a nightmare. The Federal Investigation Agency (AFI), the FBI Mexican stops that day on the road to Cuernavaca, about twenty miles from Mexico. The French thirty-one years is then in the car of Israel Vallarta, his former companion in the process of moving some business.
Like a B movie, the car must slow down because there is work on the road. A man beckoned them to stop. Then everything goes very quickly, the police appear and kidnap the two passengers. For twenty-four hours, separated from his former companion, Florence remains locked in a padded van to the police, without drinking, without eating a bucket with ease, guarded by two heavily armed and hooded officers.
About four o'clock in the morning, ninjas enclose it all in black, in handcuffs, on the ranch of Israel. She then attends to the preparation of a staged, false partitions with assembling and installation of two pieces in the shed in the garden with its own furniture that the police took in his new apartment.
When everything is ready, about half past seven in the morning, the doors are open and kicked by police officers followed by television crews broadcast live to the rescue of three people kidnapped. "That day, says Florence, without making a formal investigation against me, in a manner unrelated to fairness and truth-seeking, the police decided, I do not know why, to join a gang of kidnappers, introducing me to the media as a dangerous criminal. "
The tangled hair, dazzled by the floodlights televisions, Florence and Israel are presented as band leaders. The first examination is made by the media, not by the police and the media image of the diabolical French will condemn even before his trial begins. According to the accused, even the French authorities are convinced by the transaction, like the Consul of France in Mexico, who goes to prison the following afternoon. "He liar, less than nothing, "says Florence.
In fact, it has not been implemented to ensure that national guarantees of a fair trial: one, for example, has made sure to appoint a French translator for interrogation; person, nor has accused the National Commission on Human Rights, while Cassez was kept incommunicado twenty-four hours, in violation of Article 16 of the Constitution, which states that anyone detained by the police must be submitted to the Department public within two hours after his arrest.
And the director of AFI, Genaro Garcia Luna, now Minister of Public Security, has beautiful confessed on live television that the arrest is a "recreation conducted at the request of the media, to no avail. In April 2008, the court condemns Florence to eighty-six years in prison for five counts: by organized crime, kidnapping, carrying weapons, weapons possession and possession of ammunition.
It took two and a half years and this heavy sentence for Bernard and Charlotte, his parents managed to alert the public. They have not done earlier, on the advice of the consul and his Mexican lawyer who would not rock the boat.
On intervention of Nicolas Sarkozy, Frank Berton Outreau trial counsel, shall be nominated by the French courts to follow the issue complicated by numerous irregularities. In early December, the lawyer will travel to Mexico for a second visit. It should meet informally Fermin Rivera Jorge Quintana, JA assigned to the case of Florence. If it does not come to pressure the Mexican justice system, he knows from experience that a judge can be wrong.
In Case Outreau, Mr. Berton had shown that the French judge had erred thirteen times, which had contributed to the acquittal of most of the defendants. He believes that the record defended by Horacio Garcia and Agustin Acosta, two lawyers known Mexican Bar, should help correct this injustice, because in this case, assembly and inconsistencies abound.
Après une étude exhaustive du dossier, Me Berton estime qu’il n’y a aucune charge sérieuse contre Florence Cassez et que de nombreuses erreurs peuvent être relevées. La sentence retient par exemple que Florence appartient à une association de malfaiteurs depuis 2002, alors qu’elle n’est arrivée au Mexique qu’en mars 2003.
En outre, trois personnes ont été libérées dans le ranch d’Israël. Pourtant, la juge Olga Sanchez évoque quatre personnes et condamne en conséquence la Française à quatre fois vingt years in prison. Florence is also condemned for carrying and possession of weapons, although no gun was found in the car during his arrest.
So many errors that cause now a growing awareness in France. Three years after the arrest, the efforts for the liberation of Florence Break are increasingly important. Both the National Assembly, which circulates a petition to the House that on the Internet, where a group was created site Facebook . Charlotte Cassez a également ouvert un blog sur lequel elle donne quotidiennement des nouvelles de sa fille . — © Patrice Gouy , La Croix , 18 novembre 2008.
Espérons apprendre la tenue d'un jugement en appel régulier avant son prochain anniversaire. Lire aussi le blog Florence inocente , version française . There are good records. In this regard: curiously and unless error on our part that we would really appreciate the opportunity to rectify, we find nothing about this tragic travesty of justice on the website of the World since an article the least ambiguous of February 2, 2006 Joëlle Stolz who, like his fellow Mexican, thought ahead Cassez, and another, inaccessible of 8 May 2008 on the outcome of the trial. Despite the opportunities, such as those detailed above, would have been provided and offered by today's news that newspaper still considered the reference.
tapping Question: how is it that some miscarriages of justice fill the columns of these opinion-formers, and happy with the undeniable effects and, conversely , others are permanently passed over in silence becomes an accomplice in that? Here as elsewhere, it can be the result of chance, it is necessarily the result of black power relations.
