Mexico’s Supreme Court plans to rule on whether the parading of suspects before the press violates the constitutional presumption of a person’s innocence until convicted of a crime, the Federal District Human Rights Commission said in a statement.

Justice Luis Maria Aguilar Morales will review the legal challenge filed by the Federal District Human Rights Commission and prepare the case for debate by the 11-judge panel.

The commission alleges that the practice of the Federal District Attorney’s Office to parade suspects who have not gone to trial before the media is unconstitutional.
