Texas execution violates international law

  • 10 years ago
Mexico is trying to stop the execution of one of its citizens on death row in the United States.

Edgar Tamayo was convicted of killing a police officer in 1994 while in the US illegally.

Mexican officials say he wasn't given access to consular assistance, in breach of international law.

Al Jazeera's Adam Raney reports from Tamayo’s home state of Morelos.
