Dear friends: From Chile. Last July, after thirteen years of trial- ALEJANDRO SCHAYMAN KLEIN, abuser and parricide, was condemned life imprisonment for his crimes. He escaped to Bolivia, and he has been reported living in Sucre by Interpol. After two months and thirteen days, on October 13, Supreme Court of Chile appro...ved the extradition request of this criminal to be sendt by Chilean Foreing Ministry to Bolivian Government, and it has not been done yet. Every nation has the duty to "remove obstacles" that might hinder the human right to justice; and as we have seen in this case, Chilean authorities have selves-made "the time" as the greatest obstacle to reach justice. We appeal to Amnesty International representative in Chile to ask Chilean Government about this case, and about the status of children human rigths in our country.
