22 June 2015 Last Summer, we learnt about the case of Diego Gomez. Diego Gomez, a Colombian graduate student, currently faces up to eight years in prison for doing something thousands of researchers do every day: posting research results online for those who would not otherwise have a way to access them. I want to support Diego Diego has posted a letter on Fundacion Karisma’s website informing us that his trial begins next week on 30th June.
