We never attacked the markets, nor poisoned the water like they claimed. The attack itself was very violent. They came with pistols, homemade cannons, and tear gas. One of our activists, Manuel Mesi'as Yupa Yupa died from a bullet wound in the head. We also had 38 injuries and a number of disappearances.
Many people are still unaccounted for.
In addition, the community center was burned, sacked, and destroyed. Moreover, the military shut down our radio station which made it difficult for us to communicate to tell the people what was happening. Indigenous leaders have been pursued and in some cases jailed. Right now we are conducting investigations into the action of the police and military during the attack and during the mobilization as a whole. Nothing was left untouched.
