Testimonies

Government of Banzer, April 2000

“They moved us to the barracks of Viacha. We were 6 prisoners, we were all hooded and they hit us. The next day they moved us to Estado Mayor. In these barracks the beating was worse, the questioning continued and they threatened to take our lives. My back hurts to this day and I can hardly bend down. My kidneys seem to have been damaged.”

Government of Banzer, September 2000

It was the day of the massacre in Huarina, 9.30 in the morning. In vain, the armed forces stood in front of their own people. Men, women, children and elderly, armed with some slingshots and stones. After a few minutes a green fighter plane approached. As soon as it was over the village, it launched grenades. The soldiers immediately started shooting at the crowd. There were dead and wounded, there was blood everywhere. Women, children, youngsters, elderly, they'll never forget this day for the rest of their lives.
