El congresista Brad Sherman, quien promovió y logró que se implementaran las nuevas sanciones en contra del régimen de Irán para detener el desarrollo de su bomba nuclear, reconoce la labor de CIEMPRE y de su sistema de monitoreo de actividades extremistas en Latinoamérica.
I am writing to thank you for highlighting anti-democratic extremism through your work with CIEMPRE (Latin American Media Research Institute). I found the collection of information on your website to be a useful resource.
Additionally, I applaud your efforts in bringing attention to anti-Semitism in Latin America. It is important to expose harmful articles that promote fear mongering and the spread of misinformation. The availability of unbiased information aids in the pursuit of justice in prosecuting terrorist actions, such as the bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association center. It is also necessary to point out misleading articles about the Iranian government's nuclear program, especially those promoting anti-Israeli sentiment.
CIEMPRE's efforts to counter disinformation with credible reports and publications about growing threats to political freedom and human rights should be recognized.
Tracking reports of human rights abuses against activists and ethnic and religious minorities draws much needed attention to a serious problem. Such reporting exposes patterns of violence and terrorism, allowing others to take appropriate action. In addition, attempts to censor such information negatively impact the condition of people in Latin America.
I commend you, and those who help you fund this organization, on your ongoing efforts to defend freedom and democracy. I look forward to learning more about developments in Latin America through this and other committed sources.
