The South Bruce Amnesty Inter-
national group % will mark the
Canada -wide "Day of Presence" to
remember all people who have
'disappeared' in the world.
On Friday, Apr. 15, at the Kincar-
dine District Secondary School,
John Yebuga Will share his ex-
perience of living in Uganda where
100,000 people disappeared in the
mid-1980s. Now employed and
living in Toronto, Yebuga was
detained as a prisoner of conscience.
in Uganda until his release in 1987.
Disappearances and political
killings are tools of repression used
by governments and armed .op-
position groups world-wide to
silence opponents and intimidate
entire populations." The 'disa-
ppeared' have 'simply vanished.
Amnesty International says often
there are witnesses who testify that
the person was last seen in the
custody of government security
forces or police, but there is no
record of their whereabouts.
Somebody knows what,has'•hap
pened to them, and more impor-
tantly, is accountable. '
Political killings aie deliberate,
unlawful killings carried out on
government orders or with their
complicity. Political killings are
government backed or sponsored
murders which arc rarely inves-
tigated.
On the morning of Aug. 15,.1989,
heavily armed men, believed to be
members of the Guatemalan
military, burst into the home of
Maria .Rumalda Camey, 23, and
took her away. Maria's 'disa-
ppearance' followed a number of
kidnapping and political. killings
• carried out against her family. Her
husband and two children have
since fled the country. .
Twenty-eight year old teacher,
Domingos Seguarado, was shot
dead by Indonesian soldiers while
taking part in a peaceful
demonstration for independence m
East Timor on Nov. 12, 1991, He
was among more than 200 people
massacred that day in Dili, the
capital .city.
'On the Day of Presence, shadow
figures will represent real people
who have 'disappeared' or have
been killed. Amnesty International
members in communities across
Canada will be making people like
Camey and Segurado symbolically
reappear.
At the Kincardine District Secon-
dary School library on Apr, 15 at 8
p.m., there will be petitions to sign .
