The names, please

Rafael Molina Morillo, the current editor of El Dia newspaper and a long-standing advocate for freedom of the press issues through the InterAmerican Press Association, has requested that the Ministry of Interior & Police, the government body that oversees the National Police in the Dominican Republic, release the names of National Police agents who benefited from the illicit use of stolen vehicles that were recovered but not returned to their owners. Molina Morillo says that the new law on access to public information requires the government to divulge this information on request. In his commentary in Hoy newspaper today, he expressed his appreciation for the support received in this endeavor from Fabiola Medina, the new director of the Foundation for Institutionalism and Justice (FINJUS).
