Mexico was set to complain to US President Bush at talks to be held in Texas about Oklahoma's plans to execute a Mexican convict, Osvaldo Torres, on May 18. "This for us is a deliberate violation of the provisional measures that the International Court of Justice dictated," Geronimo Gutierrez, a senior Mexican foreign ministry official, said. "We are urging the U.S. federal government to take all the necessary measures to protect the life of Osvaldo Torres and the other Mexicans," Gutierrez told a news conference. The Mexican president had angrily cancelled a planned meeting with Bush in Texas in 2002 after the state executed a Mexican prisoner.
