>>Among other details, on "Con el Mazo Dando"

>>Chile to meet the former coordinator of PROVEA.

>>Government officials targeting individual

>>WRI has a long track record of speaking out

>>WRI know PROVEA to be an organisation

>>2013. Over time, we have noted with sadness 
>>growing suspicion and intimidation towards

>>
>>This incident is the latest in a line of

>>
>>In 2013, WRI released a statement in support of 
>>PROVEA following a verbal attack against them
