Senor Secretario,
I want to express my concern that Adonis Polanco has been receiving death threats because of his work on behalf of people living with HIV/ AIDS.
So I would like to call on the authorities to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation into the threats, to make the results public and to bring those responsible to justice.
Moreover I'm calling on the authorities to provide adequate protection for Adonis Polanco and his family, in accordance with their wishes.
Finally I'm pointing out that the work of activists and non-governmental organizations who provide help and support to people living with HIV/AIDS is of vital importance, and I urge the authorities to ensure they are free to carry out their work without fear of harassment and intimidation.
Yours Sincerely,
