Dr. José Manuel Mireles Released From Prison This Morning




Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat


José Manuel Mireles, former leader of the Tepalcatepec autodefensas in Michoacán, left El Rincón Prison located in Tepic, Nayarit, after three years in jail.


Dr. José Manuel Mireles reported that he was released from prison at 7:00am this morning.  He said that “I’m heading out…we still don’t know the way.”



“I am happy to see you all, I thank you all for all the support you have given me (…) because the struggle must continue,” said the former autodefensa leader of Michoacán.
 
In a telephone interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva, Mireles said that when he entered prison, he did not have the diseases he has today.  “I had two heart attacks, I still have diabetes and spinal problems.  I gained that here, from inside; I didn’t have that outside,” said the doctor.



Mireles said that he was unaware of the place in which he would be transferred to, but said that he would like to have a medical checkup due to the heart problems he has had.

“We don’t know where but I would like to go to a heart checkup; I suffered three minor strokes, I have spinal injuries and my diabetes is uncontrolled,” he said.

The former leader of the autodefensas commented that at around 23:00 yesterday, the first process server told him that the agreement was reached with the judge for him to be released and this morning, he was released at 7:00am.



Ignacio Mendoza Jiménez, Mireles’ lawyer, said in an interview with Grupo Fórmula that “the truth is that we feel happy for him, for his family, but as a lawyer, we think that it is incomplete and we will continue to work so that in the coming months, the process is not lengthened (…) and obtain an acquittal.”

The release of Mireles comes after his lawyers, Ignacio Mendoza Jiménez and Carlos Iván Martínez Rosas, paid the 30,000 peso ($1,595 USD) bond imposed by a district judge based in Michoacán.



The 30,000 peso bond was paid for thanks to José Daniel Moncada Sánchez and Manuel Antúnez Oviedo of the Movimiento Ciudadano Political Party.


Mireles is subject to prosecution for his probable participation in the crime of carrying firearms for the exclusive use of the armed forces, a record that is currently in process, due to the fact that they still lack to relieve diverse tests offered by their defenders.

Among the conditions for his freedom, José Manuel Mireles will not be able to approach any of the people that had to do with the history of the autodefensas and his case.  In this regard, Dr. Mireles said that he didn’t have hatred nor a grudge.  “I cannot afford to keep up my courage because of my health situation.”




In addition to the paid bond, Mireles must comply with other precautionary measures such as submitting periodically to sign at court, not leave the state of Michoacán nor the country; as well as not approaching nor communicating with certain people.

When asked about the book he was preparing, Mireles said that he finished it in prison; it is now waiting for the latest revision.

    1. If he would have died in prison it would have been a real problem for the govt to explain, but now that his health is fucked they let him out and hope he dies soon. Brave man who did the right thing and suffers the consequences.

  3. BB should mention the important, and I think crucial, role that Partido Movimiento Cuidadano played in this great man's release.

  6. Awesome. I thought this would never happen. Now I am worried about him being killed on the outside. What a wonderful human being. So sad to hear about his health. You cannot win in Mexico even if you do the right things at times. I cannot wait to buy the book if it becomes available.

    1. AGREED!! This is a true man and Mexicano, possessing that same spirit and courage that was possessed by by the indios and mixed bloods that rebelled against the tyranny and enslavement imposed on that country by Spain 208 years ago.

    1. I know right!! I can't begin to imagine how someone in his position must have felt, when he found out he was leaving prison. between the day to day horrors of prison, struggling to fight disease and illness behind bars and knowing why he was there to begin with, says something about the man himself who lived to survive it all.

  21. Valor, I assume the post uses, "coraje" when Mireles says he holds no grudges. Coraje here means anger. So, it should read: “I cannot afford to keep up my anger because of my health situation.” It's an important difference.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. "Coraje" is like a grudge, resentment
      Corajudo someone that throw's tantrums easily
      Courage = valour
      Courageous = someone that does what has to be done without regard for the danger or in spite of the fear.
      Dr Mireles refused to kiss ass or bend over when the shit hit the fan in spite of the murdering around him.

    2. Courageous= Dr. Mireles.

  22. The Judge should have ordered Alfredo Costillo to be arrested and incarcerated in Dr. Mireles vacant cell for all the human rights violations which Mireles suffered while in prison.

    1. 11:56 Part of the "new Mexican system of justice" should be making government officers liable for their stupid mamadas, retroactive and extensible to their families and patrimony and their partners in crime, they can keep 10% of the take if they will confess at the first chicharrazo en el cabus.

  24. I never thought he would make it out because Mexico is so corrupt. I hope he gets the medical chkup ASAP.

    We are not out of danger yet.

    1. @9:14 MW. He is not out of danger yet but I don't think he is out of commission yet. He does need to get med check ASAP. but if it is diabetes with proper care he can control that. With luck his heart problem can be treated. If he needs help to pay for the best medical care available we might should set up a "gofund" to cover the costs.

      If Chivis is physically able she has connections to his family and his attorney and she might could find out more than is in the news.

      He still has to get those damned gun charges dropped but when that is done I don't think he will be out of the game if he can recover his health.

    2. I hope el Dotorr gets out of mexico and works from outside, he will get a lot OD support, it is no use to still be a prisoner in his own house and be kept under a gag order with pending accusations and trumped up charges, he is going to be spied, garranteed; If the US president can be wire tapped with impunity and don't even want to talk about it anymó, imagine poor sick Dotor Mireles,
      Time to leave Prison Mass Grave "mexico".

  25. DD: Great idea about getting $$ help to Dr. Mireles.

    I think the doctor's story needs to be covered in the USA English and Spanish speaking media "if" it would help his survival and cause.

    1. This is what corrupt Judges do. They restrict the release of the accused to an area where he will be more easily killed by Govt thugs or Narco.

  34. Wishing Dr Mireles and the people of Mexico freedom from the cartels and from corruption. May the conditions that support drug crime be brought to a peaceful end. May you be in good health and safe. The world is watching.

  35. I pull up BB every couple of days specifically to see if Mireles has been freed yet. Finally. Now he needs to recover. It would be great, as an earlier post suggested, for someone to set up a fund for him.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hope he gets at least a piece of the peace he deserves, now that he's out of the box.

    Cases like his make me just... hope, for some greater power, to intervene. Not a nation, a military coalition or other ordinary force. For the pope to declare a crusade for the reclamation of Mexico and her people from the servants of satan, maybe.

  37. Govt thugs are the Narcos corrupt Judges as well as the president of Mexico are keeping Mexico poor as ever, Mexico should pass a law, it you own your home ao have a business you are intitle to have a gun

  38. Desgraciadamente para los ciudadanos Mexicanos, la corrupcion del govieno y los carteles ha hestado cementada por décadas.

    La unica solucion seria borrar las dos instituciones de raiz y de una vez. Asi como en Nagazaki e Hiroshima...Gobierno y cartel!

    ReplyDelete
  39. There is just no justice. I cannot believe a man who was serving to protect his community could be treated like this. What a deeply corrupt country. He spoke truths about the government that no one would dare speak and look where it got him. The government is no better than any of the cartels. simple

  40. I have just seen the documentary, the guy on the border said that people all over the world are fighting for change because the politicians are spouting lies and nothing changes. I am one of those people but here in the uk we are not treated like the Doctor. However we are all still on the radar, I have read that he was rushed to hospital, if diabetes is not controlled it causes big problems. Lets face it folks we have destroyed the current world. Regards and good health to all

  41. Great, a hero of the people comes back.

  42. Congratulations Dr. Mireles. I hope I can continue to read about your continued improvement in your legal situation. I also hope that the citizens of Michoacan come to grasp and comprehend the enormity of what you have done for them, as well as all Mexicanos. Sacrifices, courage, bravery, and leadership, these things Dr. Mireles gave to his neighbors, his community, his state and his country. I sincerely hope that if any whom are still living or have family that was spared death, suffering, torture, rape, or any other oppression because of this great man and are in a position to assist him in his time of need and darkness, that the step up with the same selfless courage and be there for him

    ReplyDelete
  43. Very soon now, the world will need many more men (and women) like José Manuel Mireles. As life gets more difficult in the coming days, I hope we all may find the courage, virtue, and strength that will be needed to endure.
