Chile: Amnesty International publishes evidence of possible concealment of information by the national police

 


Amnesty International today released new evidence showing that Carabineros special police sub-colonel, identified by code G-3, used his weapon in an abusive manner against protesters on many occasions during the protests at the end of 2019.

In early May it was reported that Chile Carabinieri police forces had attempted to conceal the presence of the G-3 officer during the operation in which student Gustavo Gatica was blinded. G-3 is a Deputy Prefect of Services 2, a high-ranking commander in the Special Forces who sits in the Special Special Command of Chile, an internal advisory team united during times of conflict or emergency, according to bylaws his.

It is unacceptable for Carabineros commanders to allow high-ranking officers such as the G-3 to constantly misuse their weapons. By failing to take clear measures to stop this prefect and, consequently, his subordinates from operating without respecting domestic protocols and international regulations, Carabineros commanders have abetted one of the most regrettable episodes in Chile’s recent history. which Gustavo Gatica, actually 21, was blinded by heavy rubber bullets as he took part in a protest, said Erika Guevara-Rosas, director of America at Amnesty International.

Even more alarming is the fact that Carabineros tried to hide the presence of G-3 at the scene, where Gustavo Gatica was seriously injured, as his statement was not taken even for the case file, despite the fact that he was one of the commanding officers of the operation. and on the same day he fired 170 bullets with 12 bullets in each of them.

Amnesty International also noted with concern the completion of the Carabineros internal case dated 9 December 2019 which suggests that Gustavo Gatica’s injuries were caused by the protesters. Carabineros should provide all the information that the Office of the Public Prosecutor should clarify the facts and conduct a rigorous and thorough investigation aimed at clarifying the truth and enforcing appropriate sanctions when applicable.

It is unacceptable for Carabineros commanders to allow high-ranking officers like the G-3 to constantly misuse their weapons.

To suggest that the protesters themselves could have caused Gustavo Gatica’s injuries is not only malicious, but illustrates a willingness to conduct a serious internal investigation. Instead of protecting the population, they seem to be protecting themselves, Erika Guevara-Rosas said.

Amnesty International calls on the Office of the Public Prosecutor of Chile to continue its investigation into the G-3 and those commanders who could and should have prevented that officer from acting arbitrarily, and officers who may have participated in the obstruction and cover-up. The responsibility of the chain of command for not acting must be properly investigated.
