MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Congress has agreed to hold forums on the possibility of reinstating the death penalty for some crimes. The forums will gather crime experts, human- rights groups, academics and others to discuss the merits of bringing capital punishment back to Mexico.
Mexico formally abolished the death penalty in 2005 but has not held an execution since 1961. However, a surge in homicides and kidnappings has provoked renewed demands for the death penalty.
