monicau@aldia.co.cr The owner of the Academy Farm Dundee, Narvin Lichfield, will go in opinion in September, defendant of presumed deprivation of freedom, coaction and tortures, informed the press office of the Court.
The American will be judged from the 26 to the 29 of next September, in the Court of Judgment of Alajuela, because she is related to him to supposed punishments committed in damage of minor, that were committed in that academy. Without permissions Apparently, the Dundee Farm did not count on the permissions of the PANI. There they lived, at least, 200 minor foreigners.
This case was investigated by Al Dia in May of the 2003, when the authorities closed the academy and sent to the students from return to their countries. By this investigation, that same year Al Dia gained the Prize the International of Journalism King of Spain.
It is presumed that the minors were isolated in the Academy, in degrading conditions, where a member of the personnel tortured them in diverse parts of the body until reducing them to the impotence. In addition, apparently to the victims it was not allowed them to communicate with his companions or their relatives who were in the United States.
