CUANES Alert 6-13-91 (Alert No. 311)
2) On June 10, 1991, Jorge Rodriquez Guardado, 21, was captured by
soldiers of the Fourth Brigade in what appears to be another
incident of forcible recruitment. Mr. Guardado was taken off a
bus when he was returning from visiting his cousin in San Salvador.
He was stripped in front of others on the bus and accused of being a
guerilla because he lives in the community of Ignacio Ellacuria,
(previously Corral de Piedra) a repatriated community in the department
of Chalatenango. The accusation of being a guerilla often precedes
harassment, capture, torture, or killing. There is concern for the
physical safety of Mr. Guardado.
REQUESTED ACTION: Express urgent concern for the physical safety of
Jorge Rodriguez Guardado and dismay at the psychological abuse
and humiliation inflicted on him. Request his immediate release and
respect for his physical integrity.
