“The children were discharged from the hospital and returned to the community and continued to suffer the same pain. Their relatives brought them to the hospital for emergency treatment and they did not want to treat us. They told us ‘you are already discharged and you cannot come, if you want to come, go and make an appointment for tomorrow’. I went to the hospital director, he called a lawyer so they could take care of our minor children in the emergency, but hours passed and they did not come to us. “In the hospital, they sit and do not treat us,” the Waibanconi Aboriginal Chief lamented.
The community also denounced the shortcomings of the initial police report, Which included only three victims’ names that did not match the real names.In the same vein, according to the community leader, the injured had to go back to the police station to give their testimony, which delayed the formalization of the complaint and, consequently, the provision of medical care.
“The police told us that all the injured had to give their statements so that the complaint could be activated, and in the meantime that could not be done. He explained that all 15 injured had to give their statements, a complaint would be filed and they would only go to the hospital.
