I am writing to follow up on a letter which was sent to you on June 15th, 2009 from Ms. Cara E.I. Gibbons regarding LRWC’s concern regarding the death threat received by Mr. Rommel Cain Chacan Pale as a result of his human rights work. We have yet to receive any response to our appeal that the government of Mexico 1) take action to ensure the safety of Mr. Chacan; and 2) investigate the threat against Mr. Chacan with the goal of identifying the person(s) responsible and bringing them to trial.

LRWC remains very concerned by the reported threat to Mr. Rommel Cain Chacan Pale’s internationally protected rights.

It is critical that LRWC receive a response outlining the actions being taken by your government to remedy the threat against Mr. Chacan and to prevent any further violations.

LRWC will continue to monitor Mr. Chacan’s situation closely.

We thank you in advance for your reply.
