It was attacked for no reason while participating in a peaceful march . It did not lead to agents that toppled the propinaron ground and kicked in the head, then take her to a dungeon and keep locked 24 hours ; or at least that recounts the events the lawyer for the 25-S Coordinator, Doris Benegas , detained by riot police 15 minutes after starting the rally this Saturday against the monarchy.
Hundreds of people marched from Madrid’s Plaza de Sol toward the House of Representatives when dozens of riot police blocked their way in Alcala Street, forcejeraon with those leading the march and they charged them, and then arrested three protesters.
Benegas “. Charged because it was premeditated first thing they did was kicking the people who went before”
” They loaded because it was premeditated, the first thing they did was kicking the people who went before, “complains legal to Public .” It was disproportionate, we were not doing anything worth a fit of that caliber “ he says.
Benegas ensures that both it and the two others arrested and some of the protesters who led the march received several blows and kicks by agents . “I stepped on the head when he was on the floor, another girl has a gap in the forehead by a stroke of baton, have given 10 points. Luis [Ocampo] is blows to the face and whole body “ says the lawyer.
Ocampo, husband of the lawyer, was hospitalized until five in the Sunday morning as a result of the load, and appears as complainant in the lawsuit that the 25-S Coordinator presented last week against the government delegate in Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, and the director general of the National Police Ignacio Cosidó by prohibit the display of republican symbols during the proclamation of Philip VI.
For Benegas, the fact that Two of the detainees have taken part in this action can not be attributed to chance , is not an arbitrary fact: “It was revenge of the Delegation Government for filing complaints, “he says.
” They know that people are unhappy, it is a way of trying to intimidate us. utilize the repression to mobilize ourselves not “
Questioned by the reason that led the police to charge the demonstration shown attorney rotunda: ” It’s a strategy to instill fear . They know they have many fissures that people are unhappy, and it’s a way of trying to intimidate not mobilize ourselves; are using repression. ”
Cifuentes has been widely criticized for managing citizen protests with an iron fist. The alleged candidate for mayor of Madrid used to stand up for the security forces after events occur as reported, praising its ways and denying that agents acting disproportionately.
“Processes and constituents, monarchy is not democracy, it is dictatorship and corruption” was the motto of the protest Surrounding Congress called by the Coordinadora 25 S Saturday. At the end of the day, three protesters were taken to different hospitals, and Samur assisted three other police officers for minor injuries.
“There is little democratic education in law enforcement”
Doris Benegas, Luis Ocampo and a third person who prefers not to reveal his name were arrested shortly after quarter past seven o’clock, and then be transferred to the police. “Being in a cell 24 hours is very hard, did not let us sleep . democratic There is little education in law enforcement, “criticizes Benegas.
Dozens of people gathered Sunday in front of the courthouse square Castilla for the three detainees, free positions in past six-thirty in the afternoon. Minutes later have joined a new concentration in Sun hours before had been called as a gesture of support and to demand his release. Over them three charges. undermining of the authority, grave disobedience and resistance, and only the first could mean a sentence of several years in prison
” The constitutional right to demonstrate is above what prompted the delegation “
Nevertheless, after insisting on the” repression “in his judgment practiced by the security forces, says Benegas be optimistic about the immediate future: “I have high hopes, changes are needed in depth is why we say that the monarchy is not democracy, is corruption changes are needed, and we believe are possible..” ditch.
A protest “is never illegal” but has not been reported
One of the current Executive recurring arguments to justify the violent dissolution of citizen protests is that these are not authorized if they have not been communicated in writing to the Government Office.
As a lawyer, Benegas refutes this idea, and ensures that the communication of a statement by the official channels obeys a matter of planning, to take into account their potential impact on traffic and other variables. “The Constitution guarantees the right to demonstrate . We have communicated publicly, so have been the police and the press. Unable to justify the burden and the dissolution of a peaceful demonstration because a right Constitution is above what prompted the delegation. “
According to counsel, the fact that governments wield that such protests are” illegal “due to his interest ” cured health after a load “. “And in any case, if peaceful demonstrations must not dissolve in this way,” he concludes.
