Excerpts from the interview on Radio Globo Rafael Sarmiento Sarmiento son of Ulysses who suffered a brutal attack
the violence of the coup in Honduras increases
On Wednesday at approximately 4:00 pm Ulysses Sarmiento, a renowned and respected Olanchano entrepreneur was attacked in his home in a central area of the city of Juticalpa, departmental capital of Olancho. Native of this city is also Pepe Lobo, National Party candidate. The attack lasted about 10 minutes, when a group of heavily armed men opened fire with heavy weapons and grenades at the home of the employer. Despite the heavy shooting and explosions, neither the police nor the investigating bodies were present.Moreover, apparently covered the escape of terrorists.
David Romero: The attack is part of the statements of Danilo Orellana (Chief of National Police Crisis) who said that two weeks before the election the violence was going to increase, which is the a priori blamed organized crime gangs .
Rafael Sarmiento: I had talked with his family to leave the city about five days before the election by the insecurity. They have seen chasing cars and motorcycles in the city of Juticalpa. Yesterday he made a brutal attack his father. With high-powered guns, bullets pierced the walls, the criminals used grenades HK and 40 mm grenades, the military said. The attack lasted between 15 to 20 minutes. This time was enough for security agencies have been mobilized. One of the cars where they were those who committed the attack with 3 people in the pan (back of pick up) and 5 persons in the cabin, went through where I was. They left shaking and dropping his head scarves. Were taking off flak jackets (speckles: camouflaged) of using the military and took the highway to Tegucigalpa. They passed an operation by the traffic police (they had a checkpoint on the road) and not detained. The chased for several minutes but could not reach them. When he returned to the road at the entrance to the Juticalpa had removed the police operation. Ensures that the attack does not seem to be common criminals by the brutality and firepower they have used. The criminals used police bulletproof vests and military flak jackets. In the house of his father were women and children at the time of the attack. One child was with a scratch wounds. He also says that there is a candidate member in Olancho that may be involved. The embassy was in Brazil for 40 days with President Zelaya.
DR: Is it true that his father told him when you were in the Brazilian embassy to whether to offer up their lives in this struggle to defend President Zelaya, who did?
RS: That's correct. The told us on September 21 when we entered the Brazilian embassy. The called us at 6 in the morning. That day were expected to break into the embassy. We were ready to defend the life of Mr. President. A judge had already given the search warrant. Contrary to all international treaties, but eventually stopped. His father told him not to surrender, not to allow never.
DR: Andrés Pavón (Chairman of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras) said there would be massacres, also the Ministry of Public Health instructed the directors of hospitals across the country to prepare a contingency plan from 19 to 2 December. How to link this with what happened to your father?
RS: We have no police response, DGIC, or the prosecution. As it is possible that at 4 pm, in broad daylight, the criminals went into the street with these weapons. This can not happen in a state of law. It seems a clear message that people of the resistance will be pursued and any attempt to link him or drug trafficking crime, against people who have gone public in the resistance. No response from state agencies, but everything seems to indicate that there is the thing. The resistance is peaceful, but it seems that these people want to lead people through blood and fire for the elections and wants to go with everything against people who have traveled in the resistance.
