Claudia Medina Tamaraz - Mexico

Claudia is now a free woman, the last of the charges against her having been dropped. She was forced to sign a confession after being kidnapped and tortured by Marines. 300,000 people around the world demanded justice for her.

Amnesty International continues to call for an investigation into her torture and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. A month after her release, the Mexican President visited the UK and received our Stop Torture signatures. The Prime Minister, Deputy PM and Secretary of State for Scotland all helped send a strong message - it's time for Mexico to respect Human Rights.
