Death Squad-style Murders of FMLN Leaders

* Salvadoran Movement calls for international pressure for a timely and
thorough investigation*

=20

        Alex Flores Montoya and Mercedes Pe=F1ate de Montoya, two =
well-known
FMLN leaders, were found dead last Wednesday in the municipality of
Coatepeque, department of Santa Ana.  The husband and wife were =
traveling in
their vehicle when they were intercepted by another vehicle.  They were =
then
forced to lay face down on the ground, each shot with a single bullet to =
the
head, and abandoned in a nearby alley.  Alex Flores Montoya was a =
teacher in
two of the local public schools, and as an FMLN activist he served as =
the
local FMLN board=92s adjunct coordinator and ran for municipal council =
with
the FMLN in the March 2006 elections.  Mercedes Pe=F1ate de Montoya was =
also a
recognized FMLN activist and former candidate to the FMLN municipal =
council
in the March 2000 elections.

The FMLN denounced the death squad-style killings and is demanding a =
prompt
and thorough investigation by the National Civilian Police (PNC) and the
Attorney General=92s Office (FGR).  Luis Corvera, FMLN coordinator for =
the
department of Santa Ana, said last Friday that the crime =93cannot be =
left in
impunity.=94  Corvera expressed the concerns of many Salvadorans saying =
that
the murders are most likely political because the way in which the =
Montoyas
were killed is typical of the Salvadoran death squads of the 1980=92s.

Political violence in El Salvador has been escalating since the violence =
of
July 5th, when police attacked a student protest against the rising cost =
of
bus fare and two police officers were killed.  That night the PNC =
illegally
raided the union federation CSTS and tortured and illegaly detened union
leader Daniel Ernesto Morales on July 5th, then on July 17th SETA (the =
water
worker=92s union) received a death threat signed by a supposed death =
squad
group.  In recent weeks, two =93social-cleansing=94 death squads have =
reemerged
in the western part of the country, and last Thursday the Salvadoran =
Army,
spurred on by the ARENA rhetoric that has been calling the FMLN and its
supporters =93terrorists,=94 illegally occupied a rural organized =
community in
San Vicente claiming they were looking for weapons.  Meanwhile, nothing =
has
been done in the investigation of the recent brutal murder of FMLN =
leader
=93Mariposa=94 Marina Manzanares=92 parents in Suchitoto on July 1st, =
and the
government has done nothing to address the evidence of death squad-like
groups operating from within the PNC. (For details about the protest and
violence, go to
http://www.cispes.org/english/Communiques_-_Action_Alerts/july5.html; =
and
http://www.cispes.org/english/Updates_and_Analysis/index.html).

In the context of this escalating repression, the FMLN and Salvadoran =
social
movement are calling for international solidarity to pressure the =
Attorney
General=92s office for a prompt and thorough investigation into the =
murders.
Join us in demanding an end to the violence and respect for the right to
organize in El Salvador =96 the social movement and international =
solidarity
demand justice, not impunity, for the perpetrators of political =
repression!

=20

TAKE ACTION!

1.    Write to the Salvadoran Attorney General and demand that the =
office
carry out a prompt and thorough investigation into both the most recent
Montoyas assassination and the July 1st brutal murder of the Manzanares.

To: Mr. F=E9lix Garrid Safie

Attorney General of the Republic of El Salvador

011-503-2249 - 8607

August 29, 2006

=20

Dear Mr. F=E9lix Garrid Safie,

=20

I write you to express my grave concern with regards to the murders of =
Alex
Flores Montoya and Mercedes Pe=F1ate de Montoya this past Wednesday, =
August
23rd.  The couple, both of whom were recognized FMLN leaders, were =
killed
with a single shot to the head and abandoned in the neighborhood of San
Isidro, in the municipality of Coatepeque.  They leave behind their 3
children, who are 17, 21 and 25 years old.  These killings come just =
weeks
after the brutal assassination on July 1st of the Manzanares, both of =
whom
were also militants in the FMLN.

=20

Both murders were carried out in the style of the death squads, armed
clandestine groups that operated with impunity during the war in El
Salvador.  The fact that this type of murder is more and more frequent, =
as
well as the resurgence of social cleansing groups like the Sombra Negra =
and
the Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez Central Commando and the =
denouncements of
extermination groups within the ranks of the National Civilian Police, =
all
point to a dangerous setback in the respect for human rights in El =
Salvador.
All of this is even more alarming when political repression in on the =
rise
and these executions appear to be deliberately targeting political =
activists
on the left.

=20

Because of this, I ask the Attorney General=92s Office of the Republic =
carry
out a prompt and thorough investigation into these cases and that they =
are
not left in impunity for any reason.  Furthermore, the Attorney =
General=92s
Office should investigate the political motives behind these killings =
and
not discard them a priori as is usual the case.  I will be following the
development of the investigations, as well as the subsequent judicial =
case
against those responsible, and maintain my congressmen and women =
informed
about political repression in El Salvador.

=20

Sincerely,

=20
