The Best Plastic Pants

Jesus Davila shows once again what others are silent: the use of Students torture by police in Puerto Rico


This great Puerto Rican journalist now working for NCM News, "global information distribution system that is not affiliated with any other interest, whether financial, institutional or political, nor is a subsidiary of organization, entity or government. "So what other issues do not dare.

In this case, under the title of "Guards, horses and torture do not stop the strike in Puerto Rico", is something that at least I had not read or heard elsewhere. We knew what the guards and horses in the UPR but not the fact Davila says that as "National Police admits using" professional "torture techniques to arrest the strikers." Read what it says:

Sometimes the unequal battle has grotesque scenes, as when students advance against riot columns known as "Strike Force" with the horses of the mounted unit, whose riders in armor can not always control or displays of brute force when arresting civil disobedience sit in front of the entries in the Río Piedras Campus of the UPR. These recent cases led reporters to question his plea to the commander of the operation, Colonel Leovigildo Vazquez, who explained that members of these units act "professionally" because they have received some training sessions where they learn "pressure points to weaken the body" through "the pain" felt by young people to be arrested.

addition, after the arrests, the detainees were transferred to headquarters located in areas that are about drug smuggling points, in which gang leaders let them know their discomfort with the operation alters the environment for illegal business .

The police professionalism explanation given by Colonel Vázquez and sending prisoners to headquarters in potentially hostile jibe with the description in Article 303 of the Penal Code, which criminalizes torture as "intentional infliction of severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, upon a person whom the defendant has custody and control"
.

several decades ago in our history and after a university strike, it was found that the police headquarters were tortured students. We are back to everything and anything bad before the good.
