Pressure is growing for Mexican authorities to release prominent labor lawyer Susana Prieto, arrested a week ago at a protest, with two U.S. unions concerned about a rights clampdown ahead of a new regional trade deal.

Prieto could remain in jail until late July as investigators probe the case, the Tamaulipas state attorney general’s office said following her June 8 arrest in Matamoros. A state judge rejected Prieto’s requests to be released while the case is pending. Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, the largest U.S. coalition of labor unions, called the charges “trumped up.”
Tamaulipas Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica said the charges stemmed from a complaint from a labor board in Matamoros about a protest by about 400 workers outside its doors last March. The group was accused of being violent and threatening government workers.
