ADVANCE IT: CHANGES AND MORE CHANGES
IN THE ARGAÑA LAWSUIT |
As a gift for new year the Supreme Court of Justice of Paraguay
left without any effect the resolution that it had designated
as exclusive judge for the investigation of the case of the
crime of Dr. Luís María Argaña, to the magistrate Dr. Jorge
Bogarín.
In front of a challenge outlined before the lawsuit, the leafy
file of the Argaña case passed to the hands of judge Rubén
Darío Frutos.
It must be remembered to the reader that with this new
magistrate they are already three those judges that have intervened
in this sounded case: the first one, for some days at the
beginning (while he got ready the immense list to entitle,
with innocent people, definitively the lawsuit), Dr. Gustavo
Ocampo Gonzalez; the second until today, Dr. Jorge Bogarín
Gonzalez, and, starting from now, Dr. Rubén Darío Frutos.
What can be said about these judicial maneuvers? First, something
that we come stressing in this page, the great doubt about
if all these actions could be adjusted to law. And second,
that it has a strong smell that somebody want to repair those
things that could not be achieved in the "official investigation",
to try with this judge if it is possible to close, as soon
as possible, this lawsuit and through this way to condemned
those that it suits (not the true culprits), to the political
interests of those that today they reign in Paraguay,

| WHY
ANY COMMUNICATION MEDIA IN PARAGUAY
NAME THIS WEB
PAGE?

The answer is very simple, the press self-censorship exists.
We say self-censorship, because although this imposition it
is not official, it has been able to settle as a constant
threaten to those media that publish or that diffuse all those
news that have any relation with Lino Oviedo and/or his political
followers.
It is strange that in the newspapers of the last weekend it
was spoken about the message that Oviedo made to the international
community, and that it was diffused in this page, but without
mentioning at least it address: www.oviedolinocesar.com.
What it is ignored by those who live outside of Paraguay,
is that it has been begun a while ago in the diffusion media,
a true hunt of witches directed against everyone that call
himself "oviedist" or that it simply said that it
doesn't like the on duty leaders. Even they intent making
presentations to the justice of that country, to prevent that
the media informs or publish any messages belonging to Lino
Oviedo and to any politicians that can have some identification
with him.
We want to make an explanation, this is not a critic to the
media neither to journalists. We understand them from our
sure place, in some part of the world, where the civil freedom
and the rights to man’s free expression are respected. For
that reason we reject the manipulation of freedom once again
through the oppression that the state terrorism has implanted
in the Paraguayan people, through the political hate, the
harassment of everything that they estimate contrary to its
spurious interests and that it can put in danger the regime
implanted illegitimately in our brother Latin American country.
