Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia and Argentina express their "deep concern" over the arrest of Castillo

MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The governments of Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia and Argentina have issued a joint statement expressing their "deep concern" over the removal and detention of the former president of Peru Pedro Castillo, calling on the institutions of the Andean country to respect "the will of the citizens in the urns".

According to the four countries, for the world "it is not a novelty" that Castillo, from the day of his election, "was the victim of undemocratic harassment, in violation of Article 23 of the American Convention on Human Rights," according to the letter, disseminated on social networks by the press office of the Mexican Government.

"Our governments call on all the actors involved in the previous process to prioritize the citizen will that was pronounced at the polls. It is the way to interpret the scope and meaning of the notion of democracy included in the Inter-American System of Human Rights ", have affirmed the Mexican, Colombian, Bolivian and Argentine executives.

In this sense, they have urged the powers of the State to refrain from "reversing the popular will expressed with free suffrage", requesting in turn that they fully respect "the Human Rights of President Pedro Castillo and guarantee him judicial protection". .
