Quiet Voices Against Corruption Labor

12.11.2008

A month after the smashing article about contract killings and ubiquitous corruption the newspaper refers to "quiet corners of this country of seven million people where voices rise" against crime.

According to the author Doreen Carvajal these voices are concentrated among "journalists, two nonprofit organizations, several environmental groups and even some politicians".
