Mexico: French citizen freed after seven years in prison

(Vatican Radio) French national Florence Cassez is on her way home to Dunkirk, after being freed, seven years into a 60 year jail term for kidnappings, which she denied. James Blears reports on a lingering case which divided two nations. The Judges voted 3-2 to throw out the case, which was littered with legal and human rights violations, the worst of which involved Mexican Police re-staging the arrest of Florence Cassez, and it being filmed by televison company Televisa.
