"We had no response regarding this issue, what prompted us to address the penitentiary execution judge", he added.
"We raised 2 letters to the execution judge on December 30, 2015 and January 11, 2016 complaining about the negative decision made by the Director of the Penitentiary Establishments not to let us know whether they intend to apply the law according to the aforementioned article; however, the execution judge saw the letter and attached it to the file what is considered to be an implied rejection of our request", he further stated.
