Context of the attack on ProBusqueda

A recent article from the Episcopal News Service provides context for understanding what's at stake with the recent attack where armed intruders ransacked the offices of human rights champion Pro-Busqueda:

They detained three people, removed computers and other equipment, and destroyed files by dousing them with gasoline and setting them on fire.
