The activist of the human rights organization
HIJOS
, who reported that she suffered
beatings and sexual abuse
in her own home by two strangers, spoke publicly this Monday
for the first time about the attack
and said that she is still in shock about what happened.
During an interview she gave this Monday morning to El Destape Radio,
Sabrina Bölke
- such is the identity of the complainant, who until now had chosen anonymity - gave a detailed account of what she suffered in the first days of March when she was surprised by two men inside her house, and although she clarified that she cannot relate the event to a "state apparatus" she pointed to
a "breeding ground of hate, of violence that enables this type of things
. "
"I wouldn't want to go into the most morbid details. But I will say that I left work at night, at a quarter past eight at night. When I got home and opened the door there were two people behind the door waiting for me. And When I entered my home they grabbed me from behind,
they grabbed me by the neck, they held me down, they insulted me, they threatened me, they hit me
," Sabrina said.
"
They were torturing me for between 15 and 20 minutes
. Then they tied me up and pointed guns at me.
They said they were coming to kill me
," he added in his crude account of what he suffered.
Sabrina, who from her place as a trans worker for the former Esma delved into the investigation of missing LGBT people, admitted that despite the days that have passed since the attack, she still has "a feeling of shock, because I am still trying to understand what happened." .
"They told me not
to talk anymore
, that they knew where I worked, that I didn't have to talk about my human rights work anymore. And
when they took out the weapons and pointed them at me I thought my life was going to end there
," he said.
The statement from the national network of HIJOS
The attackers acted violently the entire time, and beat her repeatedly: "They asked me to turn around, and when I refused, they continued hitting me, and they tied me with wires and bandages. I don't want to go into it any further because it's still very difficult to narrate. When they left they said that if I said that they were there,
they were going to come back and that they were actually going to shoot me
."
Sabrina said that at first she thought it was all about a robbery, but that they made it very clear to her that that was not the objective: "I asked them
'Are you going to rob me? I have nothing, they don't realize that I have nothing.'
And there they tell me
'we know everything about you, we know where you work, we know what you do, that you are with human rights.
We didn't come to rob you, we came to kill you
.
' "
In addition to mentioning that they destroyed several of her furniture, Sabrina said that after returning from the Pirovano hospital - where she was treated for the injuries and blows suffered during the episode - she saw that "on one of the walls they had written the acronym
VLLC (Viva La Libertad Carajo)
and the word
'gnocchi'
on the wall of my room."
"I try to be very careful with all this. I cannot blame it, in judicial terms, on the fact that this has to do with a state apparatus. But it is true that there is a breeding ground for hatred and violence. for some time now. And they enable this type of things. I have no evidence, but everything is in justice," he added.
Finally, after reaffirming that HIJOS is a group that fights against oblivion and silence and that is not going to remain silent in its demand for justice, he responded to those from the ruling party who questioned his complaint.
"What can I expect? If they deny, they have denied all their lives. They deny the disappeared, they deny the dictatorship, they deny the 30 thousand. They deny the Mothers (of Plaza de Mayo), they deny the grandchildren, they deny the children. "They deny trigger-happy cases, they deny the poverty that exists, they deny hunger. What can I expect, that they have empathy?" he concluded.
