Alpirez's denials of any involvement in Che Bamaca case are not credible. The longer you permit them, to oo unchallenged the raore you call into question your government's coaaitment to uphold human riches.

In formation relating to his Involvcuant in the case is extensive and cones froa aultiple sources. Oneantiago Cabreraane forward long ago with information linking Aipiretnd interrogation.

Ochcr sources are likely to.cone forward eventually with additional.incriminating evidence. If you do riot act credibly on tha information available to you frcn us and from other sources you will jeopardize your reputation and your country's.

Itatter of public record that Alpirezanking officer in Zone hen Saseca was captured in

At least three different reportsin addition to Santiago Cabrera's testimonyassert that Alpirez was present when Baraaca was interrogated.

We also have information we Judge to be credible that Alpirez has first-hand knowledge of what happened Co Bamaca following his interrogation. It strains credulity to believe that an officer in his position at the tine would be unaware ofapture, interrogation axd subsequent disappearance.

Indeed, ic is widely known in Aray circles that Aipirez is deeply Involved inaca case.

Alpirez hixself is known to have boasted aloud that he personally interrogatedca.

The information we have is not evidentiary and probably cannot be usedourt of law. But it. is persuasive and convinces ushorough investigation by law' enforcement authorities will produce usable evidence.

Given this intonation, we call on you toiligent and impartial investigation into these charges without delay.
