Provea y la Vicaría de Derechos Humanos alertan sobre la alta impunidad y la casi total ausencia de investigaciones de las denuncias en los órganos de justicia del Estado. Más de 90% de los casos de asesinatos no han llegado a los tribunales y mucho menos han obtenido sentencia firme.


The Human Rights Priestess(???) is alarmed by the high impunity and the almost complete absense of investigations of the charges by the State justice system. More than 90% of the assassinations have never made it to court and much less have resulted in a prison sentence.
