To their Honours the magistrates of the First Collegiate Court of the Twentieth Circuit, based
in TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ, CHIAPAS: FREDDY GABRIEL CELIS FUENTES,
MANUEL DE JESÚS ROSALES SUAREZ AND THE ACTING SECRETARY OF
JUSTICE.
Your Honours:
By means of this letter we ask that when you undertake the analysis of the Motion for the
Recognition of Innocence number 4/2012, which has been promoted in favour of Professor
Alberto Patishtán Gómez, that you thoroughly review the arguments presented in this paper,
taking into account the widest interpretation of the human rights of the petitioner in
accordance with the provisions of the first and second paragraphs of Article I of the
Constitution.
We believe that the arguments presented by Professor Alberto Patishtán Gómez are
convincing enough to determine that the isolated theses and dissertations of jurisprudence
that are compiled in the Judicial Weekly and its Gazette are innovative public documents
and as such, are effective in countering the evidence on which the conviction given to the
teacher was based.
We also believe that the Honourable Court cannot ignore the obvious fact, recognized not
only by a large segment of the national and international civil society, but also by judicial
authorities, the Federal Executive and the President of the State of Chiapas, of the violation
of the fundamental rights of the teacher Alberto Gómez Patishtán to due process and the
presumption of innocence.
Sincerely
