Alejandra Cuevas will ask President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for protection for her and her family.
After a year and seven months in prison, yesterday she left the Santa Martha Acatitla prison, where she remained for 528 days, accused by the head of the Attorney General’s Office, Alejandro Gertz Manero, of homicide due to lack of care for her brother. .
Hours before his release, the first criminal amparo district court in Mexico City granted provisional suspension to Cuevas Morán and his daughter Ana Paula Castillo Cuevas against any order of arrest, detention, retention, search, location and appearance. that has been issued against him.
Shortly before 4:00 p.m., Cuevas, who was wearing the regulation beige uniform, crossed through customs at the prison: Thanks to the media and civil society that without knowing me have supported me and my children. I am certain that without you the Attorney General of the Republic would have buried me forever in prison with a crime that he fabricated, causing irreparable damage to my family and my life.
.
He thanked the Judiciary that at the end of the tunnel has looked after our interests, our rights. I do not extend this gratitude to the Judiciary of Mexico City, but I do extend it to the Federal Judiciary. To each and one of the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and of course to the presidency of the Court

He wants a meeting with AMLO
He added that as of today he is interested in being received by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to respectfully ask you to protect my mother, my children and me from any future eventuality, doing it in the proper way, but I take advantage of the presence of all of you to tell you that I will request the appointment as soon as possible
.
He indicated that his life changed, since he knew the entrails of the prison and heard the endless number of injustices of women who have spent years who today could be free. Since I entered I realized that all women here are invisible. No one has a voice, which together with you we managed to visualize your cases and we will achieve your release. My great admiration for all those people who, without knowing me, accommodate me and my children through messages, prayers, letters and ideas crying out every day: freedom for Alejandra! That today is a reality thanks to you

Then she boarded a black van heading home where her mother, relatives and children were waiting for her.
