In commemoration of our 30th anniversary, we decided to sit down with people who have encountered SIPAZ along the way. One of them is Jorge Santiago Santiago, a renowned human rights defender, theologian, and pastoral advisor in Chiapas.
This year, 2025, SIPAZ - International Service for Peace - celebrates three decades of unwavering work for nonviolence, respect for human rights, and peacebuilding in Chiapas.
The International Service for Peace (SIPAZ) regrets the murder of Father Marcelo Pérez Pérez that occurred on October 20 in San Cristóbal de Las Casas. According to preliminary reports, he was shot four times by unknown persons on a motorcycle while he was heading to the Guadalupe temple, after celebrating mass in the Cuxtitali neighborhood in this same city.
