Mario Aburto Martinezsentenced to 45 years in prison for the assassination of the then PRI candidate for the presidency, Luis Donaldo Colosio, In 1994, he obtained an amparo due to the failure of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) to investigate alleged cases of torture against him.
The Second District Judge of Amparo in Criminal Matters, Antonio González García, granted the amparo requested by the sentenced person, without making public in his agreement the effects of his resolution.
Aburto Martínez, identified as the “lone assassin” of the candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), in March 1994, claimed in his application for amparo that the FGR has failed to investigate the acts of torture committed against him since that date.
The native of Zamora, Michoacán, who is being held at the Federal Center for Social Readaptation number 12, located in Guanajuato, denounced that he has been a victim of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment.

In his appeal, he indicated that the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Human rightsof the FGR, has not supervised the Investigation Prosecutor for the Crime of Torture in carrying out its investigations in this case.
With the appointment of Rosario Piedra Ibarra as head of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), the case of Aburto Martínez was reviewed, and in October 2021 a recommendation was issued to the FGR and the Decentralized Administrative Body for Prevention and Social Readaptation, of the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, after proving alleged cases of torture against the detainee.
In addition to this amparo, the First Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters, based in the State of Mexico, is studying an amparo under review, processed by the sentenced person, in which he argues that he pleaded guilty to the torture committed against him; and the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation refused to review an amparo against the 45-year sentence imposed on him for the murder committed on March 23, 1994 in Lomas Taurina, Tijuana, in Baja California.
