Benito's School
Several years ago the Nuremberg Human Rights Center chose a picture of Benito Mendoza protecting the knowledge accumulated in his book with his hat as their logo, as it symbolized their commitment to protect the truth about human rights violations in Latin America. Benito was a teacher at the Guatemalan village of Todos Santos which was raided by the military in Guatemala and had over 80 villagers killed. Until recently, the Nuremberg center did not know whether Benito had survived. Fortunately, not only he is alive, but he is running a language school in Todos Santos. If you are looking to learn Spanish or Maya, we can't imagine a better place to do it - check out their website at http://www.stetson.edu/~rsitler/
Welcome CEDHU!
The Ecumenical Commission of Human Rights has inaugurated its new web site, located at http://www.derechos.org/cedhu/ . The site contains information about the organization, and news and articles about the human rights situation in Ecuador. Given the general dearth of information regarding human rights violations in that country, and the persistent violations to fundamental rights that occur there, the CEDHU site is very welcome. The site is available only in Spanish.
