Every 12 hours a person disappears in the Dominican Republic, warns congressman

Bray Vargas afirma que no se les da la misma importancia a todos los casos de desaparecidos

Durante una intervención en la sesión del pleno de la Cámara de Diputados, este martes, el congresista se hizo eco de datos recopilados por la Asociación Dominicana de Familias Desaparecidas, los cuales indican que, del 2022 hasta la fecha, en el país hay un aproximado de 2,242 casos de personas desaparecidas.

“Si estas estadísticas son ciertas, según esta asociación, quiere decir que cada 12 horas en República Dominicana se pierde una persona”, expresó con preocupación el legislador.

Vargas denuncio también, que el último reporte del Observatorio de Seguridad Ciudadana de la Procuraduría General de la República data del 2022, y dijo que la página del portal de Datos Abiertos no funciona.

A propósito de la desaparición de la joven india Sudiksha Konanki en una playa del este del país, Bray Vargas destacó la importancia de este caso por tratarse de una turista, pero de igual modo un trato igualitario para los casos de ciudadanos dominicanos desaparecidos.

“Nos damos cuenta que en República Dominicana cuando sucede con un ciudadano no se le pone la misma atención, no se le pone el mismo carácter. Aquí las personas deben ir a los medios de comunicación con una foto a tocar puertas, aquí los dominicanos deben ir a llorar a los destacamentos para que le hagan caso y ofrecen recompensas a través de las redes sociales para que los para que los desaparecidos realmente tengan cara” Afirmó.

Bray Vargas adelantó que en los próximos días someterá un proyecto de ley que trata sobre las personas desaparecidas.
