Two years after the massacre of workers and peasants…

Words of solidarity by Killa Sotelo, Inti Sotelo’s sister, a young man killed by police during protests against the Merino government in 2020

“I come to express my solidarity and to give you a fraternal hug from Lima to you my comrades, who are also looking for justice. You have been here for two years. My fraternal hug”.
My family and I have been fighting for 4 years, but we are setting precedents so that you too can find justice…
The only ones who have violated the laws and the right to live for years, but also in 2020, 2022 and 2023, are police, the corrupt Congress, the government, because they have shot to kill us.
The police law says: shooting at the upper body is prohibited. The bodies of our relatives speak. The bodies that have been shot directly in the heart are visible…
I give you all my strength. We stand in solidarity and are with you in this fight. Don't forget that.
“Neither forget nor forgive! Thank you very much”
