Statements of AFAD
“The
world-wide campaign for justice for the desaparecidos goes on…with the
passage of time , they have nothing to hope for. They have none to look up
to. It is left to the NGOs, local or foreign to vindicate their cause.”
With this firm belief, AFAD forges on. The desaparecidos are worth
fighting for!
