Mexico City, Apr 4 (EFE).- The Senate has asked the Foreign Relations Secretariat for a report on the number of Mexicans on death row in the United States and efforts being made to provide them with legal assistance.
Human rights activists have expressed concern about a possible "wave of executions" of Mexicans in the United States, Sen. David Monreal, who sponsored the measure, said, without explaining the source of the information.
The goal is to learn about the situation of Mexicans on death row in the United States and provide them with more legal assistance so their human rights will not be violated, the senator said.
Mexico just marked nine years since the International Court of Justice, or ICJ, issued a ruling ordering the United States to review the cases of scores of Mexicans sentenced to death in that country.
