COMUNICADO DE LA OFICINA DEL ABOGADO CARLOS MORENO
Caso Victor Toro: Decision Insolita
La Jueza de inmigracion, Sarah Burr, ha negado, inexplicablemente, la aplicacion de asilo politico presentada por Victor Toro. La evidencia presentada y el testimonio de Victor Toro fueron de tal magnitud que ningun juez objetivo podria negar la peticion de asilo presentada por el ex-preso politico chileno.
La Jueza Burr concluyo que Victor Toro tomo mucho tiempo para presntar su aplicacion de asilo y que las condiciones politicas en Chile han cambiado lo suficiente como para que Victor pueda regrasar a Chile sin problemas. Esa conclusion por parte de la jueza Burr ignora el testimonio presentado por Victor Toro.

El equipo legal de Victor Toro expreso preocupacion desde el momento en que los abogados del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional introdujeron el fantasma del "terrorismo” en el caso Victor Toro. La preocupacion era de que la acusacion de terrorismo, aunque infundada, evitaria que la corte decidiera el caso justa y objetivamente. La decision de la jueza Burr demuestra que nuestra preocupacion era validad.

Como puede justificarse la negacion de asilo politico a un hombre cuyo trabajo politico y social es la esencia de lo que debe ser el asilo politico? Como se puede ignorar la persecucion sufrida por Victor Toro durante la dictadura military de Augusto Pinochet, financiada por Estados Unidos? Como puede minimizarse el riesgo que encaro y encara Victor Toro como blanco de Operacion Condor?
APELACION! APELACION!APELACION!

Apelaremos lo que consideramos como una decision injusta, irracional e inexplicable. Levantaremos nuestras voces hasta que los circulos de poder mas alto de Estados Unidos nos escuchen.

From the office of Carlos Moreno, Victor Toro's Lawyer.
Victor Toro's Case: Unusual Decision
Immigration judge Sarah Burr, has inexplicably denied, Victor Toro's application for political asylum. The evidence presented along with Victor Toro's testimony were of such magnitude that no objective judge could have denied the petition for asylum presented by the Chilean former political prisoner.

Judge Burr concluded that Victor Toro took too long in presenting his application for Political Asylum and that the political conditions in Chile had sufficiently changed so that Victor Toro can return to Chile without problems. This conclusion by Judge Burr completely ignores the testimony presented by Victor Toro.

Victor Toro's legal team expressed concern since the moment lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security introduced the idea that Victor Toro was linked to "Terrorism" or a "Terrorist" himself. The concern was that the accusation of terrorism, though unfounded, would not allow for the case to be judged justly and objectively. The decision by Judge Burr shows us that our concerns were valid.

Answers Without Questions:
How can the denial of his political asylum request be justified? Especially for a man whose political and social work are the very essence of what political asylum should be? How can they ignore the persecution and suffering felt by Victor Toro during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, a dictatorship which was financed by The United States. How can the risk he faced as a target by The Operation Condor be minimized?
APPEAL! APPEAL! APPEAL!! APPEAL!
We shall appeal what we consider to an unjust, irrational and inexplicable decision. We shall lift our voices until the highest circles of power in The United States hears our case.
