Derechos Human Rights and Equipo Nizkor want to express their deepest sorrow on the death of American Senator Ted Kennedy. Kennedy was a tireless fighter for human rights in the United States and Latin America. He was always by the side of victims of human rights violations and their families. His office took report after report, demanded investigation after investigation and through its intervention, it saved the lives of countless victims of political persecution and forced disappearances and prisoners of conscience. His work on behalf of civil, social and economic rights in the United States improved the lives of thousands of people and serves an example for politicians the world over.
From the human rights movement, we will always remember Ted Kennedy and be grateful for his stands.

I thank this movement for profiling TED KENNEDY. I was not following the Distingushed Senator's human rights activities. But if this movement testify's of his goodworks then it is true.
I THANK HIM FOR HIS GOOD WORKS. May his soul rest in peace and freternise with all those human rights victims of disapperances, extra-judicial killings etc and other heros of civil rights in the past and present. May we immortalize him, Please!
