Durango deputies denounce torture of the doctor accused of disconnecting the magistrate interned with covid

Protesters demand the release of Azucena Calvillo in the early hours of this Wednesday.RR.SS.

Azucena Calvillo, the doctor at IMSS Hospital 1 in Durango accused of having tried to disconnect Magistrate Héctor Silva Delfín from the respiratory equipment, does not stop receiving support.

The parliamentary group of the Labor Party (PT) has also come out in his defense: he has asked the Attorney General of the Republic to bring the case because they do not find enough guarantees in Durango.

In a press conference they affirmed that the doctor, in the almost 20 hours that she was detained while her husband denounced her disappearance, was "physically and psychologically tortured."

According to the deputies of this party, when she left work, last Monday, she was kidnapped by the police and taken to a house, "supposed to be a security house," where they threatened to kill her, her daughter and her husband if He did not sign a statement accusing himself of having tried to assassinate the magistrate, admitted by covid-19.

Calvillo's husband, Leonel Soto, did not want to talk about torture so as "not to harm the process."

Despite the fact that the Prosecutor's Office assumes that Dr. Calvillo is the author of the attempted murder, the magistrate has been transferred to another hospital.

The case gets complicated at times.

No one has yet cited a possible motive that prompted the doctor to end the life of the magistrate.

The evidence of the Prosecutor's Office is limited to the recording of Calvillo's alleged vehicle entering the hospital at four in the morning last Sunday and to a video where a person completely covered with anticovid protection equipment enters the magistrate's room and manipulates assisted breathing apparatus.

“There were three doctors treating the patient during the day.

Of all of them, the one who [the Prosecutor's Office] liked the most was Azucena Calvillo, ”said the deputy of the PT Alfredo Femat Bañuelos, who also said that he had been a neighbor of the doctor, whom he has known since childhood.

The deputy made a slight chronology of what happened in the magistrate's room last Friday when Calvillo arrived on his evening shift and found the patient with "a saturation of 63%."

He was, Femat said, accompanied by his sister Velia Patricia Silva Delfín, who was an IMSS delegate in Durango until January.

Now he has the same position in Tamaulipas.

According to the deputy, the patient's sister reproached the doctor for having neglected the magistrate for a few moments in the midst of a respiratory crisis, to which Calvillo replied that he had just entered his shift, had put on his protective equipment and went for anesthesia to intubate him .

Always according to the deputy's version, the patient's sister "was upset and worried and sent for the hospital officials and an anesthesiologist."

"Azucena, at 8:30 pm, [when her shift was over] left the patient stable," said Femat.

On Monday, when the head of intensive care went back to work, her colleagues told her that there were rumors that accused her of having tried to assassinate the magistrate, who was saved by the medical team thanks to the alarms of the machines being sounded. disconnected.

If Azucena left work worried that day, she had reasons.

She was kidnapped by "the gorillas dressed as police" for almost 20 hours.

No one told her husband that she was in detention when he came to report her disappearance.

On Tuesday morning she was released, thanking through tears, shocked, the companions who were waiting for her demonstrating at the doors of the prosecution.

His case has similarities to another that occurred in Chiapas between a doctor and a renowned patient with coronavirus.

The PT deputies on Wednesday asked the head of the IMSS, Zoé Robledo, to investigate the conduct of the current IMSS delegate in Tamaulipas, while accompanying her brother in the hospital.

And they reproached the actions of the Prosecutor's Office: “We believed that with Q4, García Luna's practices of quickly removing a person in charge had ended.

We are concerned ”.

The prosecutor, Ruth Medina Alemán, has also assured that in the magistrate's room a syringe was found with a substance that they have not determined and that "they tried to apply it."
