The FNRP has documented at least 254 human rights violations, including murder, kidnappings and rape, since Pepe Lobo took over for the de facto government.

Death squads, destabilisation and political violence were common. Unfortunately over the last months we have had a reminder of the dangers that are still present for progressives in Latin America.
