privatization process – in the town of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

police attacked the protestors around the police station, on the roads, and
even chased people into rural communities. Police pulled four movement
leaders out of a vehicle kilometers away from the protest and arrested them.
They attacked other protestors with rubber bullets and tear gas. In total
the police arrested 14 people; another 25 people were injured with rubber
bullets, 18 suffered serious effects of tear gas, 2 were hospitalized, and
an undetermined number were beaten by police officers. For more

manifestación pacífica contra la privatización del agua, que no es otra
cosa que la expresión legítima de descontento social ante las políticas
anti-populares. Este tipo de acción represiva evidencia la violación de
derechos humanos y amenazas a la libertad de organización y expresión. Los
golpes, capturas, cateos, persecución y sobrevuelo de helicópteros traen a
la memoria los momentos más difíciles para la población rural durante el
conflicto armado, y veo con alarma este retroceso en el proceso de
construcción de la democracia iniciado con los acuerdos de paz.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The
disproportionate police reaction against the population came in response to
a non violent protest against the privatization of water, a legitimate expression
of social discontent toward policies that hurt the people. This type of
repressive action gives evidence of the violation of human rights and
threats to the freedom of organization and expression. Beatings, arrests,
searches, persecution and helicopter fly-overs bring to memory the most
difficult moments for the rural population during the past armed conflict,
and I am alarmed by this step backwards in the process of building
democracy that was proposed with the signing of the peace accords.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>As well
I want to denounce the violent arrests of 14 people including leaders from
the communities and the non-governmental organization, CRIPDES, among them
Marta Lorena Araujo, Rosa María Centeno, María Haydee Chicas, and Manuel
Antonio Rodríguez. I ask that you respect their physical and moral
integrity, and follow the just process of law that leads to their immediate
release. It is also of extreme concern that the government might charge
peaceful protestors with terrorism and organized crime – I urge you
to drop all those charges.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Finally,
I want to express my solidarity with the rural communities and with CRIPDES
in their work for the social and economic development of the country, which
I have seen to be very important for the construction of lasting peace and
democracy. I reject any direct or indirect allegations that try to link
CRIPDES with terrorist activities, or with the case of Mario Belloso and
the events of July 5, 2006. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
