PRD takes Ley Peña to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights

PRD has decided to take the Supreme Court's decision to approve the "Ley Peña" to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, for violating the party's political rights.

Luis Sánchez Jiménez, PRD's leader in Mexico state, qualified the law as "repressive," and former  Supreme Court minister Juventino Castro y Castro, now a PRD national deputy, qualified the ruling as an "impediment" to exercise free political rights. Jesús Zambrano, PRD deputy and vice president of the Chamber of Deputies, backed the decision to take it to the to the IACHR/CIDH, which appears in all essence as futile and rather symbolic move more than anything else.
