w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region> denied Salvadoran union leader
Maria de <st1:City w:st="on">los Angeles</st1:City> Pleitez Carcamo a visa
to come on a speaking tour of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> Pleitez is scheduled
to participate in CISPES’s “We Are Not Terrorists, Organizing

will talk about her union’s work to stop the privatization of the
public health care system and the increasing repression that social
movement and union leaders are suffering from the Salvadoran government. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

U.S. Consulate in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">San Salvador</st1:City></st1:place>
and presented all of her documents, including proof of work, family ties,
and over a dozen letters of invitation from Congressional Representatives
and other community groups. In the visa interview, the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
consular representative questioned Pleitez about her ties to CISPES and her
union work. The official rejection letter cited lack of
“economic and social ties” to El Salvador, but the interviewing
officer made it clear that the rejection was a political decision when he
concluded the interview, saying “<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>this
is very delicate situation…you cannot travel because we need to
protect U.S. security.” </span></b><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Pleitez believes she was denied the visa because the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> government does not want people in the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region> to know about repression
against the social movement and union leaders in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Pleitez is a
national leader in the Salvadoran General Hospitals Union (SIGEESAL), and
SIGEESAL has recently been targeted for its work to stop privatization.
On September 4, eight SIGEESAL members were illegally arrested for
participating in a demonstration against the privatization of the national
health care system. A number of other organizations have also been
attacked for their activism recently. In July, 14 people were
arrested in Suchitoto for participating in a peaceful protest against the
privatization of water. Those protesters are being charged with
“terrorist acts” and face up to 60 years of prison. The
SIGEESAL activists are being charged with public disorder and could also
face years in prison.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Verdana'>The U.S. Embassy in El Salvador is contributing to the
repression of the social movement and union organizing by denying this visa
and not allowing Ms. Pleitez to tell their stories in the United States
As long as the U.S. government is supporting this repression in
El Salvador it is critical that communities in the U.S. be allowed to meet with
people like Pleitez to share experiences and build common strategies.
The only “danger” we face is allowing the government to
keep us uninformed! Take action to demand that the U.S. Consulate grant Ms.
Pleitez a visa immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

decision to deny Ms. Maria de <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">los
Angeles</st1:City></st1:place> Pleitez Carcamo her visa on September
20. Ms. Pleitez has been invited to tour the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region> this fall, and she has gone
through all the appropriate steps to secure a visa to enter the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
She appeared at the Embassy with the necessary documentation, including
written invitations from U.S. Congressional Representatives, unions, and
other organizations, as well as proof of her multiple years of employment
in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>.

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>All of this evidence is more than enough to prove Ms.
Pleitez’s ties to El Salvador, and therefore I question the official
letter of denial stating that she has not proven ties to El Salvador (under
section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.) CISPES, the
organization inviting Ms. Pleitez for the tour, has been organizing events
like these for over 27 years and has never had anyone overstay their
visa. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>In fact, the statements of the Consul General –
that Ms. Pleitez can not travel to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> “for the security of
the country” – make the political dimensions of the decision
obvious. In her role as a union leader Ms. Pleitez and her fellow
union members have been targets of recent police repression and arrests due
to their resistance to government privatization plans, and the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
government has apparently decided to further silence those who express
opposition to government policy. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

learn directly from Salvadorans about the issues facing worker people in <st1:place
