Mexico pleaded in the UN's highest court last week, the case of 50 of its citizens --among whom is Medellin-- who face execution in the United States despite having been denied a mandated review of their sentences. Medellín, 33, has been scheduled to be executed on August 5 for the rape and murder of two teenaged girls in Texas in 1993.AFP PHOTO/Raul Llamas
