Letter from the Director
As you may have seen, in October we filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Center Intelligence Agency in the U.S. District Court in Seattle, alleging that the agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). As part of the Center’s mission to conduct research in support of front-line human rights organizations around the world, our researchers are seeking the release of U.S. government documents relating to the 1981 Santa Cruz massacre in El Salvador, which is the subject of an open criminal investigation.
