MANDEL TOURS MEXICO Mexican CP intervened in the discussion.

We demand the release of all political prisoners, especially those imprisoned by virtue of the state of siege. We demand that those responsible for the murders perpetrated against the members of the PST and other revolutionary and trade-union militants be brought to justice.
