Delegates support Bolivian UU human rights struggle

posted by Christopher L. Walton

Delegates are adopting Actions of Immediate Witness so quickly we're falling just a bit behind here in the blogging department!

The General Assembly adopted Action of Immediate Witness 4, "Support Bolivian UUs Struggling for Justice and Human Rights." The AIW expresses the General Assembly's support for Bolivian UU leader Olga Flores Bedregal, who has been calling on her government to provide information about victims of disappearance by the country's military government, and calls on UUs to write to the Bolivian ambassador urging the country to establish a truth commission to investigate human rights violations.
