Salvadoran Army Officers Charge Human Rights Violations

The two top officers in the Chiefs of Staff of the
Salvadoran army, Generals Gilberto Rubio and Mauricio Vargas, on
January 21 accused two Salvadoran organizations of having
committed human rights abuses. They presented before the courts
complaints against the leaders of the Salvadoran National Workers
Union (UNTS), a labor union, and the non-governmental Salvadoran
Human Rights Commission (CDHES). The organizations had published
ads in a local newspaper with the names of over 200 officiers
they accused of having committed political crimes. The two
organizations demanded that President Alfredo Cristiani apply the
recommendations made by a special commission to purge the army,
in accordance with the peace agreements signed in January 1992.
