Excerpt:
As you know, they prolonged my legal process once again. This makes me angry, sad, and distressed because I don’t know when they are going to tell me if I will stay here or if I will be freed. Now I have another hearing scheduled for October 23, about another month and a half in here. I’m calm, but there are moments in which I can’t stand it. Last week I was forced into a fight because I couldn’t stand the provocations from another prisoner. Fortunately, I didn’t have any more serious problems and everything ended well and I wasn’t sent to punishment (part of the prison).
Jorge is being criminalized as part of an ongoing attack against the “okupache” squat in Mexico City. Despite the overwhelming evidence that proves his innocence, the arbitrary arrests and police brutality he has been subjected to, and a legal case that have been plagued with irregularities since day one of this set up, Jorge remains injustly locked up in the Reclusorio Oriente prison. His hearings have been constantly postponed, which is a common practice with political prisoners in Mexico since it allows the State to draw out the legal process so as to keep them in prison as long as possible.
