SAN JUAN, May 2 .- A committee of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which investigates police abuse in Puerto Rico, ruled Tuesday that the lack of complaints against police abuses committed unconscionable students at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR ) to intervene during recent demonstrations and protests, is the main reason that no court has no authority to police. During the two days of work of the ACLU, Anthony Romero, National Director of the company, inquired among those who offered their testimony on police abuse if they had raised objections, reported El Nuevo Dia
Given the refusal of several students who claim not to do so for lack of faith in the system, Romero recalled that at a meeting with the authorities of the island, they argued that the lack of complaints filed in this regard were "evidence that nothing bad happened in Puerto Rico."
also urged students abused to file formal complaints against the police and to have on hand all kinds of documentation, including medical, if the Department of Justice United States welcomes its request to also investigate .
clear that students are not charged because police often did not show their badges, as well as the refusal of the officers to proceed as required by the rules in cases of complaints.
A committee of the ACLU held a two-day visit to investigate allegations of brutality police in the context of strikes and protests against the administration of the UPR staged students a few weeks ago, demanding not impose the $ 800 fee to tuition, a decision that went unheeded and led to stay out of the studio more than 3 000 university students.
"What I have seen and heard is amazing, strong, impressive," said Juan Cartagena, committee member of the ACLU, who has spent his career as a lawyer to defend the rights of the Latino community U.S.
said to believe that the events are part of a clear plan privatize the UPR and change its philosophy, and predicted that young people struggle with these doors open.
The commission said that this process will be for long and transcend Puerto Rico, and announced that he will prepare a report expected to be ready in two months, which he said Romero, will be presented to the senior Justice Department officials United States in Washington.
