C]onsidering the FAFG work plan for 2006, it can easily be deduced that the situation could get even worse”; Given the characteristics of travel within the State, there is an evident risk of actions against the members of the Foundation during their displacements, and this must be eliminated; and In contexts of aggression and acts of systematic harassment, an efficient and effective investigation is an essential instrument to ensure the identification and elimination of the possible danger to those affected. 4.
