A photo can put a person from Guatemala in jail for four years

The initiative that has been promoted on the Change.org platform to request that the request for four and a half years in prison that the Guadalajara Prosecutor’s Office has formulated against an activist from the Platform Affected by Mortgage (PAH), who in March 2019 photographed the members of the Judicial Commission who were executing an eviction in Guadalajara, it has already gathered 55,000 signatures.

The initiative, consulted by Efe, explains that the event occurred Diego, which is the name of the activist, photographed “from his window” the eviction of a family, made up of a 19 and 17-year-old couple and a five-month-old baby, although the judicial agents also appeared in the image, and then posted the photo on social media.

In the petition, it is added that the Court of Instruction Number 1 of Guadalajara asked to delete that publication as a precaution because it could be a crime and has asserted that “this was done.”

On the contrary, the PAH has explained that in the indictment, the Prosecutor’s Office indicates the activist as the author of a possible crime of insults with publicity, a crime against privacy and another of disobedience, for which a total of four years is requested and a half in prison.

The prosecutor avails himself of the “right to privacy” of judicial officials to formulate this accusation, “despite the fact that they were carrying out an action on public roads, through a judicial procedure that was not secret and with a police deployment that called the anyone’s attention, “said the PAH.

For the PAH, the launch carried out by the judicial agents in March 2019 represented a serious violation of basic human rights, and especially those of children, “but for some reason someone does not want it to be known that in Spain, and in Guadalajara , babies are evicted, and what’s more, he wants those who execute him to remain anonymous “.
