Chile: Special forces detain and torture two young lesbians

Chile

Last weekend (28-29 March 2020) in the Bío Bío region, the National Institute of Human Rights (NHRI) filed a criminal complaint against those who are responsible for the torture of two young lesbians on March 12, when they were arbitrarily detained, violently attacked in a political and sexualised manner, on public roads, in the police car and police station, by male and female officers of the Special Forces from Coronel and Conception.

The victims are Monserrat P and Priscila P, who allege they were strangled, had their heads hit and kicked, were pepper sprayed on their mouth and eyes, were forced to strip and squat, among other allegations.

These attack resulted in Monserrat having a broken finger, being threatened that they would “throw her into the river”, in addition to the obvious psychological harm.

El pasado fin de semana, el Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos (INDH) de la región del Bío Bío presentó una querella criminal en el Juzgado de Garantía de Coronel, contra quienes resulten responsables del delito de torturas del que fueron víctimas dos jóvenes lesbianas el pasado 12 de marzo, al ser detenidas de forma arbitraria, recibiendo violentas agresiones de carácter político sexual, tanto en la vía pública como dentro del carro y comisaría policial, por parte de efectivos policiales hombres y mujeres de Fuerzas Especiales, de las comunas de Coronel y Concepción.

Las afectadas son Monserrat P y Priscila P, quienes denuncian haber sido ahorcadas, golpeadas en la cabeza con puño y pie, rociadas con gas pimienta en boca y ojos, forzadas a desnudarse y hacer sentadillas, entre otras vejaciones.

Estas agresiones resultaron con una fractura de dedo en el caso de Monserrat, una amenaza con “tirarla al río”, además de los evidentes daños psicológicos.
