Codepu complaint on Saturday August 14 at 6:58 am, the home of Tamblay Viviana Uribe, President of our organization, the Corporation for the Promotion and Defence of the People's Rights, CODEPU located in Batuco was violently raided by a group of officials GOPE, LABOCA, and staff of the Office, within the framework of the so-called "Operation Salamander" or "bombing case." The police operation lasted 7 hours. At home were at that moment his daughter, Barbara Vergara Uribe, the daughter of a political, with a pregnancy of 8 months, and the institution working with partner Manuel Correa P.
income of police officers was violent, came knocking with a battering ram the front door of the house, capturing the bedroom and held at gunpoint with submachine guns and intimidate the occupants.
particularly serious is the fact that the raid also seized countless personal belongings, clothes, computers, phones, bikes, photographs and clothes of the granddaughter of 11 years of the President, and documentation of the Corporation CODEPU, relating to the Project Oral Report of the Mapuche people, accounting for our institution, records and accounts of victims of serious violations of Human Rights.
CODEPU Corporation expresses its solidarity with Viviana Uribe and his family and strongly expressed their protest against the disproportionate operational deployment, which is more functional to the media interests of the Ministry of Interior and the Prosecutor in charge, that an inquest proceed under the rules of due process.
Surprisingly the use of a methodology reminiscent of state terror during the dictatorship, the absolute disregard for basic principles and guarantees and the dignity of the human person.
regrets, particularly for this reason that the Attorney Alejandro Peña Codepu attorney has been in the early 90's, and unconditional defense of human rights, ordered raids and brutal intimidation knowing the serious consequences that such actions leave on people and families affected, recalling the bitter moments of repression pursued by the military dictatorship.
requires the immediate return of the seized material and report and denounce to the international human rights repressive situation displayed by the police and prosecutors.
Notes, which strongly oppose the stigmatization and persecution of human rights defenders and defend the rights of everyone Arriagada by the reappearance of unacceptable practices in a state of law.
