00:00and in chile more than 90 percent of the cases of human rights violations are closed without
00:05culprits in this context six years have passed since young chile and gustavo gatica lost both
00:10eyes due to police repression during the popular revolt of october of 2019 our colleague paula
00:16drachnik with more details anna maria carries the black and white photograph of her father and her
00:25little brother both detained and disappeared by the dictatorship of augusto pinochet to these
00:31photographs she now adds those of the victims of the social uprising of october 2019 if they use
00:41it to make our people disappear now they mutilate them they leave them blind they force them to
00:47commit suicide jorge salvo one day before committing suicide he was with us it was impressive so that
00:53can happen to us again here memory is the main thing memory is the part it is the basis of true
01:00democratic system but chile seems to forgot quickly and accumulate impunity in its history
01:10there are already five young people who have taken their own lives after having their eyes mutilated by
01:16carabineros that is why actions like the one we are taking today are necessary to repudiate impunity to
01:27repudiate denialism but also immorality when crespo vindicates having shot in the eyes because here we
01:36are not only talking about gustavo gatica we are talking about hundreds of young people who have had the
01:42eyes sighted multilaterally the joven a kilo mutilar in a subita gustavo perdiu ambos ojos gustavo lost
01:49both eyes to claudio crespo gunshots an ex-lieutenant who reivindicates his actions on social networks
01:56despite the brutal evidence in the videos legged by cypher magazine nosotros creemos que los videos
02:01que se han dado a conocer we believe that the videos that have recently been released from the carabineros
02:06that correspond to claudio crespo will be relevant when making a decision because although they are
02:13not from the date of the events they do demonstrate the conduct that he carried out when he was a
02:18carabineros officer and directed his subordinates these are some of the videos listen for yourself
02:28i'm going to scratch your eyes out you hear i'm pasado six años six years have passed and for
02:36justice the more than 400 cases of ocular trauma have not been enough impunity is something that marks a
02:45society and unfortunately chile knows this today we are once again facing many trials for human
02:52right violations in democracy and 90 percent of the cases are closed without conviction they know
03:02it's difficult there is a despair among the survivors but at least they hope that crespo will serve jail
03:08time for the crime against gustavo gatica this also generates in society a normalization of violence
03:15a distrust of institution and obviously the persecution of people who demonstrate to demand
03:22rights in a favorite society persecution by the state and the media but also social criminalization
03:34well i call on the common people to be well informed that we are not criminals that the great
03:40majority more than the 99 percent i believe of the people who went out protest and who were injured in
03:46the protest were working people the more than 460 mutilated eyes were those of working people
03:57and that today they expect some justice equipo telesur chile you know the news the us government
