Action Alert: Student Anti-Mining Activist Disappeared http://www.cispes.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=843&Itemid=1

"Two years after the kidnapping and murder of anti-mining activist Marcelo Rivera, those responsible for his death continue to do as they please while prosecutors and the police continue with false assumptions and inadequate investigations.” –Communiqué from the Environmental Committee of Cabañas for the Defense of Water and Culture (CAC) 

As a result of this impunity, another case of violence has arisen - the disappearance of Juan Francisco Duran Ayala. Thirty year-old Juan Francisco is a member of the CAC and was last seen over a week ago in the city of Ilobasco, Cabañas, putting up flyers and banners against mining and the Canadian mining company Pacific Rim as part of a CAC campaign. The CAC reports that the mayor of Ilobasco, Eliseo Castellano ordered members of the municipal police to remove the banners and intimidate the activists hanging them.
