As a campaigner for the rights of Dominico-Haitians, she has nothing to hide - neither the fact that her parents were Haitian (duh) or even the fact they were illegal, because she advocates granting DR nationality to children of undocumented/illegal immigrants anyway.
It's a feeble attempt to discredit her, which will have no effect. People who don't agree with her will continue to fume, and people who share her opinion or don't care either way will think "so what?".

That could certainly be the case. Of course, if it's simply a case of illiterate parents and their educated daughter which brought about this discrepancy in her name, why would this escalate to threats?

Or a suspicious robbery where valuable materials were left alone, but documents, disks, etc were stolen?

Cree que el robo está vinculado a su denuncia, ya que los ladrones rompieron uno de los cristales de las ventanas que dan hacia los jardines del edificio, luego manipularon los pestillos y sólo robaron documentos a pesar de que en el lugar había otros objetos de mayor valor económico."
