Mexico is trying to stop the execution of one of its citizens on death row in the United States. Edgar Tamayo was convicted of killing a police officer in 1994 while in the US illegally.
But Mexican officials say he wasn’t given access to consular assistance – a breach of international law.
Al Jazeera’s Adam Raney reports from Tamayo’s home state of Morelos.
