In the dictatorship did not end Salta Catamarca
How long, Urtubey?
I get this email from the / Colleagues of Adista, Tartagal, Salta, with a serious complaint (one more, and go ...). Again, the provincial police attacks the LGBT community in Salta, a province whose governor, Juan Manuel Urtubey, campaigned against equal marriage and refuses to accept the repeal of discriminatory clauses openly repressive and unconstitutional and pre-democratic Offences Code of the province, which allow police to persecute, blackmail and criminalize gay and lesbians, among other social sectors, and especially transvestite and transgender people. Urtubey In Salta, as I said here a few years ago , the transvestites are straight and human.
repression, discrimination, imprisonment, torture and even murder of people because of their sexual orientation or gender identity is a state policy in Salta, continued by successive governments of Juan Carlos "closet" Romero (ex Menem, now in the Federal Peronism) and Juan Manuel Urtubey (ex Menem, now at the Front for Victory), both linked to the Catholic Church hierarchy. State Policy as the even more homophobic congressman Alfredo Olmedo, who aim to succeed as a candidate of PRO, will surely deepen, if we consider his constant statements to the press, which is proud of their ignorance and hatred against gays and lesbians.
Verbatim copying the e-mail received and I hope this report serves to draw the attention of the national political leadership, justice Salta, media and society at large about the plight of systematic violation of Human Rights we live in the province of Salta.
*** Sunday March 6, noon, 5 peers of the group were in a private home located south of our city (and half a block from the police station No. 45) when they were surprised by the way that led one of the policemen on duty who did not hesitate to call all other . In desperation our friends sought refuge in the house but did not help because all the police who were on duty, they surrounded the house and entered abruptly (and of course without any permission) and by dint of blows, punches, kicks and insults. The stopped taking them all in handcuffs. Over 24 hours in custody.
not lower all lived within the commissioner and there began the real suffering. As reported by one of our friends "kicked us endlessly like dogs, we all hit in the head without stopping each time we tried to watch them while we were handcuffed, and it did not help explain who work in public institutions, which we are teachers or employees of the police themselves !!!", he said.
Our friends were kneeling and handcuffed, against the wall, about two hours before being taken to hospital for checkup for. Upon reaching the room Dr. guard on duty almost did not find anything. They were immediately brought back to the police station and there were 45 detainees in a common cell with 20 other detainees. Paragraph deserves the abuse of other detainees who tried to rape them all night.
also told us how the police taunted them by referring to their sexual identities using terribly offensive and violated terms such as "control of shit, son of thousand bitches shut up, shut up trols of shit, here we do what we want ", among other calamities. It was in vain to tell you of our colleagues working on the 911 or another was a teacher in secondary schools.
Over 24 hours were totally isolated and in spite of using our city's two lawyers could hardly do anything. At 23 pm on that Sunday freed two of the five detainees (who could tell the details): Juan Ramón Sosa (hairdresser) and Xenon Flores (friend of John). During the following Monday morning, the members of Adista and we headed to the Correctional Court No. 2 (where they took the statements) and subsequently spoke with Dr. Naomi Garcia of the Office, professional in charge of issues of police abuse. Other colleagues were released on Monday 07 of power at 16 pm. We talked about Fabricio Urgel (Professor, Political Science), Sebastian Barraza (Operator 911), and Mariana Salas (housewife and premium Fabricius, came home all that is told here.)
As is known, 3 police denounce them first to our colleagues, accusing them of insult to the authority, strength and physical abuse (said to have been stoned for us!) Understand that the most committed is a sergeant named Chilo (which have more than 74 allegations of mistreatment and more than 14 complaints of violation of domicile.
is important to note also that all the residents of Barrio 104 saw and heard everything from the moment they entered the house of Mariana until taken to the Commissioner 45. They are loyal and willing witnesses to testify in the case.
Throughout this week we published the case in all local media. The five companions and made complaints to the Prosecutor for our city (Dr. Naomi Garcia will take the statements) and the lawyer representing them is called Sara Esper.
From ADISTA (ASSOCIATION OF SEXUAL DIVERSITY TARTAGAL) repudiate recent discriminatory acts of police violence in the city of Tartagal. We demand the immediate repeal of unconstitutional Offences Code which governs in our province and the end of police abuse towards transvestites and gays.
REJECT THE POLICE THE DRIVE OF AN ABSOLUTELY Salteña repressor violates ALL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS TARTAGALENSES. ALSO DEMAND THE END OF CODE MAKES THEM Misdemeanor impunity in their actions.
DENOUNCE. Not silenced.
