The University of Costa Rica (UCR) joined the international amnesty call for actions to be taken against violence in Central America international.
This request comes after a recent research by Amnesty International (AI) published last Friday, which reveals the situation of the inhabitants of some Central American countries, specifically: El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
The report indicates that Central American governments turn away thousands of people seeking to improve their living conditions and migrate to other sites.
Since 2010 and until last year, deportations from Mexico increased by 180%, and in 2015 alone more than 15,000 minors migrated alone, to be subjected to repressive treatment in Mexico.
In addition, last May the organization Human Rights Watch said that nearly 16 thousand Central Americans died as a result of this problem.
The UCR shares this concern and it has showed this in different levels, from academic research to social action to supports migrant populations that live in the country.
According to the UCR, in the coming months it will conclude a joint project with the State Distance University (UNED), which is funded by the National Council of Rectors (CONARE).
The aim is to articulate two major areas: first, the biographical experience of people traveling full of hopes and fears of being deported, suffering physical attacks or being killed; and second, to understand what happened with public policies in the region and the United States.
