In videos posted on YouTube this week, Richard Dean Anderson, Pam Anderson and Bob Barker spoke out against the possible extradition of marine conservationist Paul Watson to Costa Rica.
José María Villalta, the head of the progressive Broad Front Party, said the selection of evangelical lawmaker Justo Orozco as president of the Legislative Assembly’s Human Rights Commission is a huge step backwards for the country.
The evangelical lawmaker says he wants to help Costa Ricans find joy in their lives. But critics call Orozco – the new president of the Legislative Assembly’s Human Rights Commission – hateful, homophobic and living in the past.
