Supporting Peace in Chiapas. Stories from La Realidad and Acteal of Brigade Volunteers

An account of the work of the Civil Observer Brigades in Chiapas.
”With 29 years behind them, the Civil Observation Brigades (BriCOs), organized by the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Center for Human Rights (FrayBa), play a fundamental role in stopping the military and paramilitary violence imposed by the State in the territory.
