Letter to Honduran Officials

English

Respected Officials of the Honduran Government:

I am writing to congratulate the Honduran government on arresting the alleged killers of Honduran human rights defender Dionisio Díaz García, "the lawyer of the poor," who worked for Honduran, Christian organization la Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa (ASJ). I am pleased by the efforts of prosecutors from the Attorney General's Office in the pre-trial hearings thus far, and encourage them to keep up this good work in order to obtain the conviction of the alleged hit-men. 

I also urge the Honduran government to identify, arrest, and prosecute the intellectual authors of this assassination. 

I understand that while recent events are encouraging, there have been numerous undue delays and irregularities at various moments during the investigation and legal processes related to Mr. Díaz's assassination; thus I urge you to do your utmost to continue making progress towards justice and to ensure that delays and irregularities do not occur again. 

Thank you for your willingness to receive and consider our communication.

Estimados Oficiales del Gobierno de Honduras:

Les escribo para felicitar al Gobierno de Honduras por capturar los supuestos asesinos del defensor de los derechos humanos hondureño Dionisio Díaz García, "el abogado de los pobres," quien laboraba para la organización hondureña, cristiana, denominada la Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa (ASJ). Me complacen los esfuerzos hasta el momento de los fiscales del Ministerio Público en las audiencias que se han realizado, y les animo a seguir con este bueno trabajo para que obtengan la convicción de los supuestos sicarios.

 Asimismo animo al Gobierno de Honduras a identificar, capturar, y llevarles a juicio a los autores intelectuales de este asesinato.

Entiendo que mientras los acontecimientos recientes son alentadores, también en varios momentos durante la investigación y los procesos legales ha habido atrasos e irregularidades relacionados con el asesinato del abogado Díaz; por ende les animo a poner su mayor esfuerzo para seguir haciendo avances hacia la justicia y para asegurar que los atrasos e irregularidades no vuelvan a ocurrir.

Les agradezco por su disposición de recibir y considerar nuestra comunicación.
