Remembering Judge Guzman

January 28, 2021 13:16

The world is poorer with the death last Friday of Judge Juan Guzmn Tapia, who fought a relentless battle for thousands and thousands of Chileans who were murdered, tortured and oppressed by the Auguste Pinochet regime in Chile.

Undeterred by threats or intimidation, Judge Guzman became an international symbol of what good men can do to bring justice to those deprived of their rights by a brutal, heartless, regime.

Please read about Judge Guzman here, mandatory reading for everyone who is concerned about human rights and justice in this unjust world.
