Amparo in criminal matters

It is established as an essential mechanism to guarantee justice and prevent abuses of authority in the criminal field. Thus, designed to protect human rights in the criminal field, it is promoted against judicial resolutions and other acts of authority that affect personal freedom; against arrest warrants, convictions and, in general, any other act that violates constitutional rights within federal and local criminal proceedings, including fiscal matters. Among the principles that are safeguarded in this matter are fundamentally those of due process, the presumption of innocence, and the right to adequate defense.
