Estimado Sr. Ministro,



Las organizaciones e individuos abajo firmantes, mayormente de los Estados Unidos de América, le escribimos para manifestar nuestra profunda preocupación frente a la posible expulsión del Hermano Paul Michael John Thomas McAuley. El 1 de julio pasado, el Hermano Paul recibió una orden de expulsión, dándole 7 días para salir del país. Nos complace la noticia que la corte en Loreto anuló dicha orden. Le solicitamos respetar esa decisión y dejar de tomar cualquier otra acción que pueda impedir el importante trabajo del Hno. Paul.



El trabajo del Hno. Paul es bien conocido en Perú y en el extranjero. Su compromiso con la defensa del medio ambiente y con los derechos de los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía es un ejemplo para muchos. Nos solidarizamos con él en su preocupación respecto a las prácticas de extracción de recursos naturales que dañan el medio ambiente y amenazan el bienestar de los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía peruana. Estamos muy preocupados que sus esfuerzos para asegurar debido proceso para los pueblos indígenas, incluso consentimiento libre, previo e informado con respecto a proyectos extractivistas, pueda ser visto como base para expulsarlo del Perú.



Nuestras organizaciones tienen una larga historia de defensa de los derechos humanos en las Américas, y muchos de nosotros mantenemos comunicación permanente con el Ejecutivo y el Congreso de los EEUU respecto a estos temas. Vemos este caso con la mayor seriedad. Le solicitamos respetuosamente no tomar ninguna acción adicional que pueda impedir la permanencia y el servicio del Hno. Paul McAuley en el Perú.



Atentamente,

Dear Minister Salazar,

The undersigned organizations and individuals, mostly based in the United States, write to express our profound concern at the threatened expulsion of Brother Paul Michael John Thomas McAuley. On July 1, 2010 he was given a 7-day expulsion order to leave Peru. We are pleased that a court in Loreto overturned the expulsion order. We call upon you to respect that decision and to take no further action to prevent Brother Paul from continuing his important work.



The work of Brother Paul McAuley is well known in Peru and abroad. His dedication to the defense of the environment and the rights of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon is an example to many. We stand with him in his concern regarding resource extraction practices that damage the environment and threaten the well being of the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon. We are deeply troubled that his efforts to ensure due process for indigenous peoples, including free, prior and informed consent regarding resource extraction projects, could be construed as a basis for his expulsion from Peru.



Our organizations have a long history in the defense of human rights in the Americas, and many of us are in close communication with the U.S. Administration and Congress on these matters. We view this case with the utmost seriousness. We respectfully request that you take no further action to impede Brother Paul’s continued residence and service in Peru.



Sincerely,



Amazon Watch
