Although the blockades in Casillas Santa Rosa are considered illegal because they impede the right to free locomotion, a group of residents who call themselves the "Resistance in Casillas Santa Rosa" accused infiltrators of the violent attacks that have occurred in against the El Escobal mining project that operates in San Rafael las Flores, Santa Rosa.
Nonconformists point out that violent acts are the product of "the infiltration of groups that only seek to discredit them."
In recent weeks there have been attacks on suppliers of the mine, to the point that the Human Rights Ombudsman (PDH), came to the site to verify the allegations of last September 26.
The report said that armed with sticks, stones and machetes, more than 500 disagreements between men and women, caused damage to trucks carrying supplies, also preventing the staff of the procurator's office, to carry out their work of verification, through threats and intimidation.
Miguel Colop, assistant director of the entity, went to Casillas to investigate the violent events. In his report he established that the problem is high because there is no will for dialogue, on the part of the nonconformists. This was evidenced in a series of interviews conducted to support the document.
Giovanni Martnez de The Presidential Coordinating Commission for the Executive Policy on Human Rights (Coprede) asserted that "the population does not want to talk to anyone and they have been prevented from having an approach even when they approached they had to be accompanied by the National Civil Police (PNC) of the place. "
While the mayor of Casillas, Adrian Samayoa indicated, "among the majority of people who are demonstrating in Casillas there is a lot of manipulation and the situation went out of control."
The PDH report also highlights the statement by Javier Fortn Social Development Manager of Minera San Rafael, who explained that the mining project is not operating, it is only prepared by supplying the supply chain.
The unconformists announced that they will maintain their actions that qualify as "peaceful resistance", ruling out that they are violent blockades and also disconnecting the attack carried out with heavy weapons, against a helicopter of the mining company that carried gasoline, happened last 9 of October.
