"On one hand I feel good, and otherwise disappointed to learn that 'El Americano' and his people will also go free, there is ample evidence that they were the aggressors, and unfortunately they will have freedom, "he said. "The release of 'Americano' is proof that there is no justice in Mexico, you have to be a delinquent and belong to a cartel to have strength, it is so sad.
Their crime is so clear, many witnesses, yet the judge dares to vacate a pack of murderers .
The founder of the AUC in Michoacán stated that the judge who ruled that decision has thrown away his career and cannot go out with his head held high."
After over 2 months, Hipólito Mora Chavez and his group of 26 people, tonight obtained their freedom after the Seventh Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of the State revoked the detention order against them.
Mora, a founder of autodefensas in Michoacán, left the Mil Cumbres prison tonight, along with his men, at about 10 P.M. A convoy of at least six trucks carrying the released men, left the penitentiary, located on Morelia-Charo road.
Before leaving prison, the activist reflected on his release and that of his men.
"Justice was done. I feel good," he said by telephone after learning of the decision of the Judicial Branch of State revoking the detention order against him, that had been issued on January 3rd.

"I will continue with my ideals, that will not change "he added.
Prior to his release, the former commander of the Rural Force was visited by the State Attorney, Martin Godoy. After talking with the staff and signing documents, Mora left prison without stopping to talk to the media who were waiting for a statement.
Mora and his group were accused of homicide, after the shooting clash of December 16th against the men of Luis Antonio Torres alias ‘El Americano’ in La Ruana, municipality of Buenavista Tomatlán that left 11 dead including Mora’s son Manuel.
