The family of Irishman Michael Dwyer who was killed by police in Bolivia in 2009, are travelling to the European Parliamant today for an international and independent investigation over his killing.
The 24-year-old Tipperary was shot dead in a hotel room in Santa Cruz on 16 April.
Mr Dwyer’s parents Caroline and Martin and his sister Aisling are also seeking a meeting with the EU’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
The family have said they want to know what happened to their son, and what orders were given to kill him.
Irish MEP Phil Predegast, who is organising today's meeting, said the Dwyers deserve to know what led to Michael's death.
