US Students Visit the Padillas

Right now medical students from Wayne State University in Michigan are staying in Vicente's community and providing medical care to people of the area.

In mid-March a group of law students from Saint Louis University will visit the Padilla family at their farm in Matagalpa after meeting with other Padilla supporters in Managua. As law students, they are particularly interested in learning more about the case. We hope that enough interest will be generated to strengthen the support the family has and to spread the word about the injustices being committed against this peasant family.

In mid-February, students from Xavier University in Ohio also met with Vicente and accompanied him at the trial in San Ramon.

If your group is interested in meeting with Vicente or staying in his community, please contact Lillian Hall (friends@ibw.com.ni)
