At the request of a peasant organization, CPTers Sarah Shirk and Stewart Vriesinga travelled to Hacienda las Pavas—a 1,235 hector plot of land that a group of 123 families of campesinos (peasant farmers), has occupied and cultivated.  A representative of the Human Rights Ombudsman’s office of Rioviejo joined the CPTers.  The group travelled for over an hour on the back of motorbikes through a very large palm oil plantation.
