Crying Out for Justice for Dionisio Díaz García
Dionisio Díaz García, Honduran, Christian, known as the "lawyer of the poor" for his work defending the labor rights of impoverished workers, was assassinated on December 4, 2006. Justice has yet to be done. But your voice can make a difference.

Sample Letter to Honduras' Security Minister

English

Respected Col. Jorge Alberto Rodas Gamero, Minister of Security:

I am writing to congratulate you and the National Police for your role in bringing about the arrest of the alleged material authors of the assassination of Christian human rights lawyer Dionisio Díaz García, who worked for la Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa (ASJ).

I am also writing to ask that you ensure that special measures are taken in order to protect the alleged hitmen from possible attempts to harm or kill them while they are in custody and to ensure that they do not escape from prison. I believe that special measures beyond those usually implemented are warranted given the delicate nature of this case and the power and connections of the people who may be responsible for hiring the hitmen to kill Dionisio.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Spanish

Estimado Col. Jorge Alberto Rodas Gamero, Ministro de Seguridad:

Le escribo para felictarles a usted y a la Policía Nacional por su papel en lograr la captura de los supuestos autores materiales del asesinato del abogado cristiano de los derechos humanos Dionisio Díaz García, quien laboraba para la Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa (ASJ).

También les escribo para pedir que usted asegure que se implementen medidas especiales para proteger a los supuestos sicarios contra posibles intentos de hacerles daño o matarlos mientras estén presos, y para asegurar que no fuguen. Creo que tales medidas, que van más allá de las medidas normales, son ameritadas dado el carácter delicado de este caso, y dado el poder y las conexiones de las personas a quienes se les supone haber contratado a los sicarios para asesinar a Dionisio.

Gracias por su tiempo y consideración.
