On the morning of Wednesday, a contingent of police officers (of the Preventive and unity Cobra) of Cortez acted exactly as they did during the de facto regime of Roberto Micheletti, brutally attacked a group of members of the Resistance Front who maintained blocked a bridge. Nobody told me. I was in the place of shame, even I had to run to avoid the beatings, tear gas fired by police and some civilians bullets fired to intimidate the protesters.
I have covered many protests and blockades of roads. In a
ome occasions I have seen police chiefs dialogue with the organizers to try, at least, an agreement. But yesterday, there were no talks, no previous warnings. Surprisingly, police fired gas and rushed into the crowd. Most people tried to escape and a minority threw stones at police.
Those who suffered repression Choloma reached at seven in the morning to obstruct vehicular traffic on the bridge over the River Choloma. Thus, protesting against government measures Pepe Lobo and at the same time, demanding the minimum wage increase for all workers. VIOLATIONS
At half past ten, the police, while carrying out the eviction, detained and assaulted several people. Including some that were not part of the demonstration.
The soldiers arrived at the end of drag (see photo) some people and hit others when they were defeated (see photo). The police can not say otherwise, because even tried to prevent a photographer friend took pictures of the violation of human rights.
However, I make the reservation, some police respected the physical integrity of several citizens.
The government of Porfirio Lobo Sosa, trying to win the sympathy of the international community, before resorting to violence should seek dialogue if you have a genuine interest in ensuring human rights.
