The two burned soldiers just died

March 14, 2005

The two young soldiers that were burned last week in a military cell confinement, just died. Globovision confirms
that Roman Lujan (20 years old) and Roger Gutierrez (19 years old) died
today. I am personally disgusted and appaled that this would happen
anywhere in the world. According to a special program that I watched
yesterday in Globovision, this is the third incident of this type that
takes place in Venezuela in four years, the second in only a year.
Where are the human rights organizations now? How can this happen in a
supposedly democratic country where the individual rights are
respected? How could this happen at all, not once, but three times?
What are the results of the previous investigations? Why nothing was
done to correct the situation? Who is responsible for the deaths? So
far, there are no answers. All I have read is that the doctors that
were in charge of the burned soldiers last year in Furte Mara were the
only ones charged for negligence.
