Technorati Post Summaries 
   

Ambushed in the Land without Evil





September 17, 2008





The decades of servitude
in the extraction of rubber and chestnuts under the yoke of military
men, prefectural authorities and the Brazilian, Peruvian, and Bolivian
mafias that control the triple Bolivian-Peruvian-Brazilian border have
not been enough. The traffic in drugs, wood, and “washed” money comes
from the hand of the violence has subjugated decimated peoples for more
than a century of rubber exploitation.



As if it this would
not have been sufficient, now the blood of peasants in Pando is
running, at the hands of prefectural lackeys, mounted in the machinery
of Prefectural Road Service. On Thursday, September 11th at three in
the morning in Tres Barracas, near the town of Porvenir, the
prefecture’s people ambushed and brutally machine-gunned the peasants
as they marched towards a congress of their departmental organization.
Men, women and children ran to save their lives, but they were
immediately riddled with bullets, wounded or taken by force to be
tortured and later cynically handed in by illegal groups associated
with the Prefecture to the Police, pretending that the victims of the
barbarism were the guilty.



“The highway was blockaded with
Prefecture trucks, there they started to shoot us. Thos who escaped
towards the river were pursued and killed on the shore. Some of the
wounded that arrived to the hospital in Riberalta were murdered”
asserted one of the survivors. Also they denounced that some kidnapped
women, including the elderly, pregnant and mothers with children, were
forced to strip naked to be tortured. There is worry for the teacher
Victor Choque from El Chivé, member of the Integral Agricultural
Cooperative of Peasants of Pando, who they tortured in the hospital but
who is believed to be alive.



The Bolivian government has
decreed 24 hours of national mounring, but the wounded remain in the
jungle or in the river, without ambulances or vehicules to help them.
Neither the Red Cross, nor the Defender of the People, nor the priest
of Pando have made themselves present in the place of the massacre:
no-one is brave enough to offer help, the leaders are threatened that
they will appear as the dead of the Brazilian mafia, if they appear at
all.



It is time for national actions from all the
organizations of the State, government, and society. Lawyers, soldiers,
policemen, press, international denouncement, expressions of solidarity
and mobilizations. Those responsible for the barbarism should be judged
and punished at the national and international levels.



For the people of Pando it is essential that we end with this painful and infinite mourning.
