Mexico to grant consular assistance to Mexican-born U.S. war objector - Agustin Aguayo

“The Mexican government agreed on Wednesday to assist a Mexican-born U.S. Army medic who refused to return to Iraq and who could face up to seven years in prison when his court-martial opens at a U.S. military base in Germany.

Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department said it would seek information on the health and legal situation of Agustin Aguayo, who faces charges of desertion and missing a troop movement. His application for status as a conscientious objector was denied, and he went absent without leave in September after being ordered to return to Iraq.”
