Florence Cassez released from Mexico

This is the big news of the day in France, the release from a 60 year sentence in Mexico of a 38 year old, Florence Cassez. Seven years in prison on a charge with her boyfriend and his gang of kidnappers, in  which she has always denied any involvement. In court yesterday she was released as there was a violation of her fundamental rights in the original trial, with many irregularties in the prosecution's case. There was some suggestion that her case was helped by new heads of Government in France and Mexico, contributing to a normalisation of relations between the two countries.
