police force in La Pajuela
In the article "Water samples: Practice and emergency" I still wonder what a special police unit ( DINO - Division Operaciones Especiales Nacional de ) Has heavily armed to search the premises of the private company Yanacocha. Yesterday I was answered that question, unfortunately by the unit itself and to the dismay of some farmers from La Pajuela.
As Señor Felipe (one of the farmers that we turn the documentary) and his nephew, Juan-Carlos early yesterday morning run over one of their sheep dogs on exclusively by Yanacocha transporters street were used, they called for mine and asked for an interview about possible compensation. Shortly after that appeared a few engineers at Yanacocha, but not alone, but with a unit of DINO . This also took the same word and when the farmers, consisting of a conversation with Yanacocha employees, refused the Anghörigen of the special unit to speak, the situation escalated.
From a group of about 20 police beat eight abruptly Señor Felipe and Juan-Carlos one. In this case they used rifle butts and batons. When the 15 year old sister of Juan-Carlos protested and wanted to rush to help her brother, was taken to them. According to the farmers saw the Yanacocha engineers present the excess power to stand by and filmed the scene untouched. After they had beaten them, the unit arrested the farmers and drove them to Cajamarca to the police station.
The family of Felipe and Juan-Carlos, meanwhile, had informed GRUFIDES and two lawyers of the NGO were waiting at the station to the two mistreated to provide legal aid. After them the story of the victims and witnesses had been described, they moved the peasants to view the DINO members for assault. Because they could clearly identify four of the eight uniformed thugs, they found themselves finally with 4 of her attackers in the same interrogation room.
Valentin and I were now on site and could not believe what we saw and heard. A visibly frightened Juan-Carlos, the barely stand upright and could only walk with support, had to give his testimony the same room as the club which he had so tanned. These were still armed with their AK-47 and grinned smugly. Surprisingly for us was that the 4 lawyers, who represented the DINO police officers will be on the payroll of Yanacocha. Because at the time of the event was dressed DINO-unit which in their national service uniforms, but worked in the service of the private company Yanacocha. The more surprising were the justifications for the men of the Special Unit for their violence. Allegedly had the peasants against the maintenance of public Rest failed, what wonder, as Felipe and Juan Carlos were beaten on their own private property. The other reason was their alleged resistance to state violence, which seems strange since the DINO unit during the incident even worked as a private security force for Yanacocha! Even the representative of the Court in a haze and had to ask several times, whether it is investigating police officers in government service or private security from Yanacocha. is
this confusion by a provision for Peruvian government employees (allows for the under arms), as they can work in their spare time for private companies. However, it is not recognizable to an outsider, whether the uniformed policeman with whom he is speaking at the service of the state (that is considered idealistic in the service of citizens) is or whether the police officer takes the security interests of a private company. Moreover
advised the police or soldiers in dual employment in a heavily-resolvable conflict of interest. Work for example, in an approved mine critical demonstration for the state and have seen an objective legal order function or represent them, the subjective interests of a mining company, for which Avoid a negative image likely to provide a resolution or even escalation (and criminalization) of such a demonstration is located? These are my musings on the legal equality of social actors (eg civil society, businesses) in an objective state with watchdogs at all relevant or are in capitalist countries, the interests of the state and enterprises at the expense of the rights of civil society already congruent?
Anyway, what will come out well ultimately it when two farmers try to beat their rights against 4 persons claim the same work for the state and the largest company in the region, can probably imagine any self. is
