Three defenders of water were imprisoned for 12 years: they were innocent

Dominga González, Lorenzo Sánchez and Marco Antonio Pérez They are already free. They were 12 years of imprisonment at the prison of Almoloya de Juárez because they were accused of murdering a floriculture entrepreneur.

According to the report of Political animal, the three were accused in the 2003 and they fled three years of justicebut in 2007, they were arrested.

One of the reasons they were locked up was so that they do not take the city, San Pedro Tlanixco, in Tenango Del Valle, State of Mexico, the right to use the waters of the Tlexcaltenco River.

It was unfair that they removed the resource that they used for their daily activities. However, in 1989, the Mexican government grants it to the flower producers of Villa Guerrero, which is the main municipality of export and flower cultivation.

In 2002, a the resistance that was in charge of leaders visible to the community. Dominga was one of the defenders who interposed Amparos against concessions granted to Villa Guerrero through Conagua.

Lorenzo supported other leaders of the resistance, while Marco, first cousin It was also one of the pillars of Teófilo Pérez, one of the imprisoned rulers. The two nephews of Dominga.

When they entered the resistance Dominga worked in house cleaning, of Marco depended on seven people and I was just starting a family life.

"When they put you like that in prison, to be innocent, the family also suffers a lot. Not only did I live in prison, but my family lived it much longer than me. My wife was dedicated to the house and took care of my son before I imprisoned him. After having to go to work, she neglected the child. My brothers did not even raise their houses. We left everything in lawyers and resources to get me out, "said Marco.

As for Lorenzo, he had a materials business "It was my best moment. Business was going well. I felt that I was climbing, it was at my golden age. Everything was truncated. My wife is split between the company and the fight to get me out. I've neglected my son and today, I'm at zero, "he said.

The problem started when the six of Villa Guerrero, who were later arrested, They went down a slope where the Spanish businessman went. Suddenly, he did not come with the delegate until he found him in the bottom of a ravine.

This proved right why those of Villa Guerrero and the authorities took advantage of the moment to blame the leaders of the resistance and put them in Almoloya de Juárez.

The three who became free now they are seeking the three that are needed "For reasons of justice, the group of six splits in two"explained Antonio Lara, director of the Center for Human Rights Zeferino Ladrillero, who defended the accused in the last section.

"We are now working on the release of Pedro, Teófilo and Romulo, which should happen in the coming days.", badured Lara.
