MEXICO CITY — Environmentalists expressed outrage Thursday after a
Mexican judge upheld a requirement that they post a $1.1 million bond
to pursue a suit against a project to rebuild Cancun beaches with tons
of sand extracted from the Caribbean.
Nonprofit groups said the ruling will make it hard or impossible for
them to defend environmental causes in court.
"This means that only people with money, and a lot of it, will have
access to environmental justice," said Gustavo Alanis of the Mexican
Center for Environmental Law.
