The case of Basilia Ucan Nah: United Nations gets involved

The case of Basilia Ucan Nah, an indigenous woman in Quintana Roo, accused of pimping, stinks to high heaven


Now, the United Nations is getting involved: Its High Commissioner for Human Rights has requested that authorities in Quintana Roo revise the case. OHCHR Javier Hernández Valencia representative met with the accused, and also sought to speak with local judicial authorities, though without luck.


Why? They were unavailable, busy celebrating carneval.
