URGENT ACTION
ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDER ATTACKED BY FOUR GUNMEN
Rubén Irala, human rights defender and coordinator of the Diocesan Social Pastoral Ministry of Guairá, suffered an armed attack on 20 March at the December 23 Settlement, Caazapá Department. In view of previous threats, the aggression is highly likely linked to his work protecting the environment and communities affected by environmental degradation. Paraguayan authorities must effectively investigate the motive behind the attack and provide adequate protection measures for him and his family.
