  El Salvador: AIDS worker in danger
Alfredo Valencia Palacios went into hiding for a while but he is now back carrying out his work.
Although this is the first denunciation received by Amnesty International regarding death threats to an AIDS worker, it is a disturbing development in the activities of death squads which allegedly have continued in the country since the end of the war in January 1992.

President Alfredo Palacios said he would not sign a deal to give US citizens immunity from prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC), despite Washington's threat to withhold 70 million dollars (57.8 million euros) of US military aid a year from Ecuador.
