Mexican Court Frees 22 Convicted Of Chiapas Killings.

NYTIMES.

In a 4-to-1 vote Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that prosecutors and lower court judges had violated the rights of 22 of the accused in the 1997 massacre in Acteal, Chiapas that left 45 Indians dead, including pregnant women and children.

It also ordered four more prisoners be resentenced and said the convictions of 31 others would be reviewed.
