“ As for me and my family, we don’t care if they let her go right now, that they let her go, nothing is going to return my daughter , but I think she is in a safer place, because, 23 years later, they have her. alone in a cell, they have not let her go to the prison population because they know that they kill her there, ”she commented in 2018 in an interview with Tony Dandrades.
“We receive letters from women who are in that prison where she is and they say they are waiting for her and they say they are going to kill her because they are women who have killed before and that is why they are there, they have nothing to lose. She can say thousands of things, but the reality is that she did kill my daughter and it was not an accident , it was a moment of anger, because they were firing her, “he added on that occasion.
