Reporter Felix Carmona of El Universal on what happened to him
I am going to do the opposite of what “Commander Manuitt” told me last night, when he threatened us, at gunpoint, dressed in black and with a ski mask covering his face: “Listen well: not one word, not one letter, not one denunciation because we are going to kill you and all your family, we will erase you, Are you listening?”
Given that threat and the bitterest five minutes lived by me and my fellow reporters, Jorge Santos, photographer and the driver of El Universal’s car, Andres Perez Cova, we covered the nightly task of the raid on the residence of former President Carlos Andres Perez. When we were done we went to the house of Rafael Marin, which we heard on the radio had also been raided. We took the El Hatillo route and in a turn we met the Military intelligence unit which attacked us, abused us and threatened us with death. They took away our identification tape recorder and camera.
