Preocupan a Front Line las amenazas de muerte a defensores/as de los derechos humanos de Guatemalaposted on: 2007/06/05

Front Line está muy preocupada por las amenazas de muerte recibidas por miembros de la Fundación de Antropología Forense de Guatemala (FAFG), así como también por miembros de sus familias, entre el 24 y el 29 de mayo del 2007.

El 29 de mayo, Omar Bertoni, coordinador de laboratorio de la FAFG, recibió un mensaje de texto en su teléfono móvil. El 28 de mayo del 2007, Fredy Peccerelli, director de la FAFG había recibido un mensaje de correo electrónico, titulado “Carta de placer” que decía:

“Los días se están acabando, revolucionario de m… Hoy tenemos a tu hermana bajo vigilancia tiene pantalón negro y camisa blanca, va a ser más fácil de lo que esperamos. El momento en que Omar sepa que la violamos va a valer todo, a él lo vamos a torturar hasta que nos diga todo de las exhumaciones. Fredy ya llega tu turno. ¡Los antropólogos deben morir!”

Fredy Peccerelli telefoneó inmediatamente a Bianka Peccerelli, su hermana, y confirmó que vestía pantalones negros y una camisa blanca.

Death threats against Guatemalan human rights organisationposted on: 2006/03/29

A Guatemalan anthropologist and members of his family and staff have recently received death threats because of his work investigating gross human rights abuses committed during Guatemala’s 36-year civil war.

Front Line is concerned about the safety of Fredy Peccerelli, head of the Guatemala Forensic Anthropology Foundation (FAFG), his sister Bianka Peccerelli, his brother-in-law and colleague Omar Giron de Leon, his brother Giani Peccerelli, his ex wife Jeannette Peccerelli and all the staff at the FARG.

FAFG is a non-governmental organisation that investigates, documents and raises awareness of human rights violations through forensic examination. FAFG’s forensic anthropologists exhume clandestine mass graves and analyse human remains in order to enable criminal prosecutions to be brought against the perpetrators: many of whom are walking Guatemala’s streets freely.
