Abstract

Mexico Pensions a Political Prisoner
August 15, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

The attitude of the people of Mexico in regard to political prisoners in the United States may be judged from the fact that the state of San Luis Potosi recently voted a pension to Librado Rivera, serving a fifteen-year sentence in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Rivera was not convicted of any overt act but of an expression of opinion in a manifesto issued in conjunction with Ricardo Flores Magoff. The latter died in prison. Rivera was not included in the group of political prisoners to whom release on parole was recently offered.
