e x i c o 1. CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK The Political Constitution of 1917 states in Article 6: ?The
manifestation of ideas shall not be subject to any judicial or administrative
inquiry, except in the case of offense against morality or right
of others, incitement to crime or disruption of public order; the
right to information is guaranteed by the state.? Article 7: ?The freedom to write and to publish writings on
any matter is inviolable. No law or authority may impose prior censorship,
require surety of authors or printers or restrict freedom to print
beyond the limits of respect for privacy, morality and public peace.
In no case shall a printing press be confiscated as an instrument
of crime. ?The fundamental laws shall dictate whatever provisions may
be necessary to prevent, under pretext of accusation of having committed
press crimes, the imprisonment of vendors, newsboys, pressroom workers
and other employees of the establishment issuing the writing complained
of, unless their responsibility be previously demonstrated.?
