Dear Mr. / Dear Ms.
 
On 28th May, 2008, high-school teacher Federico Puy was fired from the Red Cross branch in Saavedra neighbourhood, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The dismissal came suddenly, without a former warning, and it is illegal. The Red Cross did not like Federico lecturing about human rights and recent totalitarian history of some states during his lessons of civics (which were part of further education for adults to get a school-leaving certificate). These lessons take place at the Red Cross premises. 

I would like to express my protest against this case of discrimination, which the Argentinean Red Cross is showing, and which is in sharp contradiction with the code of ethics and the values of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent. I will closely watch this conflict and inform my friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and also broader public.

Hereby I join the Global Day of Actions against the Discriminatory and Illegal Practices of the Red Cross in Buenos Aires, which was called by the International Workers’ Association, and I demand immediate reinstatement of the dismissed teacher Federico Puy. Until that happens, protest actions all around the world will take place, with the aim to show the illegal practices of the Argentinean Red Cross and its hypocrisy towards the Fundamental Principles of the organization as a whole.
