Human rights groups are documenting many cases of people being taken from their homes by military units at night, after taking part in demonstrations. It is repeatedly claimed by victims and human rights groups that profiles of protestors adn opposition activists are provided to the authorities by their neighbours who work on government programmes like Vida Mejor (Better Life), and the presumption is that they are obliged to provide this information on their neighbours. Army then arrive at night and call opposition members out by their names and nicknames - and use force to gain entry if they don’t come out.

  • Geovanny Sierra, journalist with UNETV<br />
<br />
"On 26 November at around 4pm, I began to give live coverage of some protests against the government. The incident occurred at 6:35pm. <br />
<br />
I felt the hit of the bullet, I felt that it went into the bones, but I also felt them go numb, like they went to sleep, a bit like the funny bone in your elbow. I thought that it was just a broken bone, with a bit of rest, I’d soon be back at work.<br />
<br />
I was transmitting live. I wanted my family to know that I was okay. But then someone else else was saying that I’d been hit in the stomach.<br />
<br />
We were around the edge of a commercial centre, a mall, I hid down behind a steep curb, I thought I’d be protected there. But I was hit. The protestors took me to the hospital.<br />
<br />
The bullets came from a bus. COFADEH have testimonies that bullets were shot from the same bus against a protest on the day before.<br />
<br />
The official version of events is that the bus was being used by prison guards, going from the La Granja courts taking three prisoners accused of extortion, to prison. And they allege that the bus was attacked with the intention of liberating the prisoners, so they opened fire.  In first place, the route they would have taken for that journey is a different one, they would have had to take a very different route, breaking all their protocols, and going into an area where there was known to be a protest. The videos show that the bus was not attacked in any way.<br />
<br />
The videos show that there was nothing between me and the bus, and the shots were not what are called persuasive shots, over my head, but directly at me. <br />
<br />
From 2001 until now, 67 journalists, people working for communication, have been killed. But only three have been taken to justice. For most of them there is no process of investigation, the people who have killed our colleagues enjoy complete impunity."

  • Sheyla Mungia Carrazco, journalist<br />
<br />
"Since December I started getting insults from the soldiers when they saw me reporting from demonstrations, and one of the military chiefs was saying things like ‘Sheyla, there’s lots of other jobs you could do, resign from this job, get another’. <br />
<br />
One day we saw the cameraman from another TV station being beaten by the soldiers, and they broke his camera. I told my cameraman to film it, the soldiers said that if we filmed it the same would happen to us. <br />
<br />
I went to report on the arrest of a protestor, one of many arrests I've tried to report on, I’ve been prevented from doing these interviews by the Army before. I didn’t have my cameraman with me, so I was filming it myself, and a soldier hit me with a baton and I dropped my microphone, when I bent to pick it up all the soldiers surrounded me and started groping and hitting me, there were about 30 soldiers, they all had balaclavas on. I’ve made official complaints about this, but the soldiers can’t be identified.<br />
<br />
My family tell me to leave this job, they’re afraid.<br />
<br />
The TV channel I work for, Prensa Libre, is now under a legal threat of losing ownership, it will probably go to an owner that favours the government. We’re the last channel giving opposition views in the region."
