Concejo de Igualdad para Movilidad Humana Ecuatoriana
Inconcebible
que la comunidad Latino Americana en Canadá, gobierno Ecuatoriano,
Comunidad San Lorenzo, y especialmente padres de familia de los niños
que con sus manitos inocentes colorean dibujos en las ambulancias, no
hayan sido informados de su funesto historial. Estos vehículos propiedad
del Ayuntamiento de Toronto, fundamentalmente han sido utilizados para
cometer toda clase de actos de brutalidad policial, y transportar a
víctimas de ejecuciones extrajudiciales. El interior y exterior de
estas ambulancias están inundados principalmente de sangre indigentes.
Compatriotas; tengan cuidado en
quienes ustedes confían sus problemas. “No todos los que sonríen en una
iglesia, estación de radio o clínica legal son sus Redentores”
Police Killing
of Rodrigo Hector Almonacid Gonzalez Raises Questions about SIU (Toronto)
On November 7, 2015, Rodrigo Hector
Almonacid Gonzalez, a hospital worker and father of two young sons, died from
injuries sustained in an interaction with Toronto police. Less than a day
before more than ten Toronto Police officers, including a tactical squad
equipped with a battering ram and shields, had forced their way into the
Gonzalez home where the 43 year old occupant had apparently locked himself in
his bathroom for reasons yet unknown. During the police encounter two Tasers
were deployed against Gonzalez and he was taken from the building on a stretcher.
Photographs taken by
Gonzalez’s wife at the hospital reveal horrific injuries including a bloody
head injury, a black eye, bruising on an arm and shoulder, and what the family
believes to be a Taser mark near the victim’s groin. The family was notified that
Gonzalez had internal bleeding shortly before he succumbed to his injuries. His mother
and wife reported than he had no injuries before police arrived. They also
reported being kept from entering the apartment by police officers .
Disturbingly,
despite the injuries sustained by the victim in his encounter with police and
despite his death in hospital the next day, the province’s Special
Investigations Unit (SIU), tasked with investigating all such incidents of
police involved civilian harm, took five days before showing up at the
apartment to investigate. The family was not told to preserve
the scene in the bathroom where the encounter is believed to have occurred and
it is not clear if essential evidence has been lost as a result. SIU should
have attended and secured the scene directly once it was reported.
Niños y sus manitos inocentes…
