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 "time" as the greatest obstacle to reach justice. We appeal to the International Human Rights Organizations to get involved in this case, as we can not see from Chilean authorities the will to treat our children as Humans with full rights.

"Despite some positive developments, a large legacy of “unfinished business” from the era of military government has been accumulated, entrenched in laws and institutional culture that persists in some sectors of state institutions, severely hindering Chile’s ability to comply with the international human rights standa...rds to which it aspires. Moreover, government action and inaction have allowed new patterns of violations and denial of rights which affect both victims of the dictatorship period as well as making new victims of other sectors of Chilean society."

Australians pride ourselves on being reasonable, compassionate and fair. But politicians are diminishing these values in political point-scoring over "boat people".

We denounce, in Chile, it not exist an independent institution that protects children rights, and we see no willingness on Chilean authorities to ensure their human rights. http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/
