In a highly unusual step, the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of
Human Rights has called on U.S. authorities to stay the execution and reexamine the
case of a Mexican citizen Javier Suarez Medina, scheduled to die August 14, 2002
in Texas. Suarez was convicted in 1989 of killing an undercover policeman in Dallas,
but the UN commission says Suarez was denied his right to consult the Mexican consulate
as guaranteed by the Vienna Convention treaty. Suarez is seen in this undated prison
photo. (TDCJ/Reuters)
