- 124. The Committee last examined this case, concerning arrests and ill-treatment of trade unionists, at its March 2000 meeting [see 324th Report, paras. 769-778]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the results of: (a) the judicial procedures initiated by the workers of the Aribesa enterprise, Mr. Porfirio Beitia, Mr. Francisco López, Mr. Eugenio Rivas, Mr. Julio Trejos and Mr Darío Ulate, and as regards the dismissed workers for whom reinstatement is impossible, to make efforts to ensure that funds are secured to compensate them; and (b) the investigations undertaken by the Government Procurator’s Office into the alleged raid on SUNTRACS headquarters and the alleged ill-treatment suffered by a number of Aribesa workers during their detention.
- 125. In a communication dated 30 May 2001, the Government attaches a copy of the note sent to the Procurator-General of the Nation requesting it to carry out the necessary investigations into the raid on SUNTRACS headquarters in January 1998 and the ill?treatment inflicted on those who were detained on that occasion.
- 126. The Committee notes this information. In this regard, the Committee expresses the hope that the investigation will be concluded in the very near future and requests the Government to keep it informed of its final outcome. At the same time, the Committee regrets that the Government has not provided any information on the judicial proceedings initiated by the abovementioned workers of the Aribesa enterprise and on the fund to compensate those workers who cannot be reinstated. The Committee therefore urges the Government to send the information requested without delay.
