Since a year now, Manuel Brito Antonio Montolio is the representative of the organization Human Rights Derechos Humanos from Sosúa, Cabarete to Samana.
Manuel (53 years old) was born and raised in Sosúa.
In Santo Domingo he did courses at the office of the organization to prepare himself for this work here on the north coast.
You can see Manuel walking around in Sosúa in the evening regularly to watch the behavior for example of the tourist police (CESTUR).
The police are only permitted to act if an individual causes nuisance (steals or being intrusive).
So ladies who walk the streets, should not be harassed.
Every citizen is in fact free to take a walk.
He also watches the police for unnecessary force when arresting a person.
If he notices excessive force or other malpractice regarding an arrest, he will talk with the commander of the tourist police.
He also regularly gives information at the police station on human rights.
He is also committed to the welfare of children from poor families and raises money and goods to provide them with food, clothing and footwear.

Another of his tasks is to visit prisons and ensure that the detainees are well treated.
But he is also committed to the construction of a public hospital for Sosúa and surroundings.
For this he has been to Santo Domingo to talk with the authorities.
In Manuel's opinion medical care is also a Human Right of the (often poor) people of Sosúa.
If one observes irregularities with regard to the Human rights, then you can contact Manuel.
