Santiago Piñera
Dear Mr. President,
We write because of our concern about the situation on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), where the Chilean armed forces to carry out the eviction of Rapa Nui in the past five months were suspended.
We are very excited about the physical safety of all Rapa Nui (local) concerned, but we are particularly concerned about the welfare and safety of members of the clan inside the Hotel Hanga Roa. report
Several sources that heavily armed Chilean police around the hotel 24 hours a day to monitor the hotel, and no one can get out and clean.
We would like to point out that now the power was turned off, and there is no food or medical care for the people that are detained there. was
At one point reported that 13 persons Hotel are being held. Of the 13 people, two children are present, six women, the elderly, who are impaired health because they have diabetes.
The prisoners in the hotel are "clan members" and have no way in any way for communication with persons who are outside of the hotel, including their lawyers.
The Chilean government has threatened the members of the clan inside the Hotel Hanga Roa, on 8 evict February 2011. Some of the evictions Chilean troops have been in the past few months already conducted in this way, the violation of the natives of Rapa Nui revealed
We are also concerned by the following facts.
1) that the Home Office seriously the legitimate claims of land by the clans of Rapa Nui possession accepted. be carried out
2) The criminal proceedings in Rapa Nui by leading Chilean politicians, because of a disproportionate part in a peaceful Demonstartion in Rapa Nui for land rights.
3) the Use of force by current special position of Chilean troops against members of the clan of Rapa Nui. *
These actions undermine the fundamental rights and political rights, and human rights, share our two countries.
It is our understanding that the executive branch of Chile is one-sided in its policy of Rapa Nui. Chile's Congress, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Human Rights Commission of the Chamber of Deputies asked both to reconsider the policy of his government on the treatment of Rapa Nui National. Even Chile, the Supreme Court has spoken, the recent rejection of a complaint from an individual against the clan Hito brought. Note also the statement of 12 January, the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples to express similar concerns about the policies of his government. Mr. President, we also know that the 3rd October 2010, the Rapa Nui a question of "precaution" to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, to which Chile miembro.Debido is that the Commission had yet to take a decision on the measure and since the number of Rapa Nui, in the Near the gardens of the hotel used with assistance from other clans to be expanded, there is an even greater Need to avoid expulsion 8th February. We are concerned by reports that the Chilean armed forces continue to peaceful people, Rapa Nui, including unarmed women and children attack. I urge you to reduce tensions in Rapa Nui for the disposal of police patrols Hotel Hanga Roa. Food, water, medicine and other life-sustaining measures should be immediately provided to individuals within the hotel. You also need the means to communicate with his followers outside the hotel, including defenders. Finally, we ask that you refrain from the disproportionate use of force to deal with peaceful protesters Rapa Nui, occupy the land of their ancestors on the island. It is our hope that your government to make efforts for the peaceful settlement of this conflict with the nation Rapa Nui. Yours sincerely, Daniel K. AkakaEni FH Faleomavaega

Honorable Secretary of Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.S. State Department
Dear Mrs. Clinton,
We write to our concern about the situation instead of Easter Island (Rapa Nui), where the Chilean armed forces were carrying out forced evictions of Rapa Nui natives in the past five months to comment on. We remain very concerned about the physical security of Rapa Nui, but we are particularly concerned about the welfare and safety of members of the clan inside the Landmark Hotel Hanga Roa. Several sources report that heavy armed Chilean police surrounded the hotel, 24 hours a day. We have also warned that the electricity has been cut, and there is no provision for food or medical care. At one point it was reported that 13 people trapped in the hotel. Of the 13 people, two children, six women and one was older and impaired health (diabetes). Sources say
clan members have no way of communication with people outside of the hotel, including its lawyers. We urge the State Department to quickly take position against these measures, since the time of the essence and Chile, has threatened to expel the members of the clan inside the Hotel Hanga Roa, on 8 February 2011.
berichtetet As the international press, was the forced Räumungam 29th December 2010 carried out, where an attack by the armed Chilean police Friedli, was done in a peaceful protesters gathering in a public place. Some of these people suffered serious injuries such as fractures and head injuries, after police said shotgun pellets had fired into their heads.
We are concerned that the expulsions on 8 February resulted in injury and Chile's armed police, will proceed with the eviction.
Chilean Congress, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Human Rights Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, both asked for a review of the policy of the government regarding the treatment of the "nation Rapa Nui".
Chile has also spoken to the Supreme Court. The recent rejection of a complaint from an individual, against the "clan Hito" has focused attention on the 12th to the statement January, UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, expressed similar concerns expressed, regarding the policy of the Chilean government.
We ask the State Department to encourage to move to Chile:
1) reduction of tensions on the island of Rapa Nui, by police patrols will be deducted in and around the Hotel Hanga Roa .
2) food supply, water, medicine and other discarded items such as diapers and baby food to sustain life of the prisoners, at the Hotel Hanga Roa.
3) communication of the prisoners with his family members outside the hotel, or erstazweise communication with the lawyers.
Finally, we are aware that on 3 October 2010, Rapa Nui, was pronounced as a "precautionary measure" of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In this Commission, Chile is a member!
It says the Commission on Human Rights before a decision on the measures we need urgent assistance in the vicinity of the outdoor facilities in the coming days to the upcoming expulsion the people from the hotel Hango Roa increase. There is also a greater need for the expulsion of the Gefagenen on 8 To avoid February.
is our hope that you will the violence against a minority on the island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is complete. We need a peaceful and lasting solution. For your information, we have our letter to the Honorable Sebastian Piñera, President of the Republic of Chile annexed.
Yours. Daniel K. Akaka
