We are writing to you with an urgent request to ensure a fair trial for Nancy Bailey, a 64 year-old U.S. citizen, humanitarian and child advocate in Guatemala. She has been wrongly accused of child trafficking and incarcerated by the Guatemalan judicial system for over 2 years while she awaited trial.

Her trial began last week on April 27, 2017.

We, the undersigned, ask that you :

1. immediately contact the U.S. Ambassador in Guatemala to request a U.S. Embassy Official observe her trial to ensure its fairness and legality
2. personally explore the circumstances of Nancy’s situation further as it concerns the global criminalization of the noble act of adoption and the unjust judicial treatment of Americans abroad

Thank you for your attention and service to protect American citizens in need of your leadership and advocacy.
