FIAN Demands the Return to Democratic Rule in Paraguay

In light of the grave political incidents that have occurred in Paraguay and have led to the impeachment of President Fernando Lugo, who had been elected in free democratic elections in April 2008, FIAN condemns the so-called political trial of President Lugo, denies the legitimacy of the current government and supports those who, faced with this situation, are demanding the fulfillment of international agreements violated by those who now hold the State power. FIAN demands that the international community adopt the measures necessary to guarantee that the democratic regime returns and that all human rights will be fully enforced in Paraguay.
