they were imprisoned because they were trying to unionize. there is a brighter side, if you want to call it that, if they were in Columbia they would have been assassinated

Just saying that you handed in a letter is insufficient. You should have posted the text of the letter here. That is what indymedia is for.

Thanks boycotter

Thanks boycotter. Just like to comment on that link.

Their main allegation is preceded by the qualification:

"As far as we have been able to ascertain..."

The rest of their claims are based on "reports" which aren't disclosed.

This might be true, but has hardly been proven yet.
