Found this story about a lawsuit brought against a group of former agents of the Trujillo regime. It was filed by a human rights group and victims family. Has this been tried before? Could this be the genesis for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the DR? Lets see how far this gets through the courts. Sadly enough those accused are well protected by the well connected, but we shall see. I read somewhere that Dominicans have short memories.....well only some.

The Dominican justice system still has a historic debt to the descendants of the victims and the victims themselves, who because of acts of courage and dedication saw their lives cruelly affected, and even gave up their lives in some cases," says the document.

The accused are former Colonel Luis Jos? Le?n Est?vez, C?sar Rodr?guez Villeta, C?ndido Torres and Jos? ?ngel Rodr?guez Villeta, members of the Military Intelligence Service that waged terror during the regime of Trujillo, who was born in 1891 and murdered in 1961.
