- 29 - 76. Regarding the circumstances of their detention: Yolanda Muñoz Diosdada was on her way to the market to sell denim articles accompanied by her son aged 17; Ana María Velasco Rodríguez had gone shopping for the Day of the Holy Cross with her brother and sister-in-law, and Angélica Patricia Torres Linares was in San Salvador Atenco gathering information for her thesis with a friend. María Patricia Romero Hernández and María Cristina Sánchez Hernández, by chance, were nearby where the protest took place; the former was on her way to open the family’s butcher’s shop in the market, together with her father and her son, while the latter was walking with her husband along the street with the flower warehouse, when they encountered the police operation. 77. Regarding the first three women, they all reported that, on encountering police agents who were attacking people and firing tear gas, they took refuge inside a private home, where the police entered and arrested them. They reported that “once they had been subdued, they were put on the floor,” one on top of another. The police also fired tear gas and pulled them out onto the street by the hair, hitting them and insulting them. 78. In particular, Yolanda Muñoz Diosdada indicated that she was “hit on the head and kicked.” Specifically, she recalled that a state police agent hit her left cheek with his closed fist, stating that they were all “whores, bitches, now you’re fucked” and that “while the truck came, the state police continued to hit us. One of the police agents who was in the street said: ‘stop hitting them because we’re going to get them out and the media are here.’” She indicated that “finally, they lifted her up, covered her face with her clothes, asking her not to lift up her head, and put her in the truck.” She stated that the police told them loudly that, since no one knew the exact number of people who had been detained, they “were going to set fire to them or throw them in the river.” She added that, at some point, she lost sight of her son, and only saw him again in the prison, injured. 79. Ana María Velasco Rodríguez indicated that she had been beaten with batons and kicked on different part of her body and that a woman from the state police took her belongings and slapped her. In particular, she recalled that they asked her who Ignacio del Valle was and, when she said she did not know him, they hit her and ranted at her with “words such as ‘bitch’ and ‘whore.’” In addition, she reported that, seeing that she was not bleeding, “they used more force and said: ‘this bitch is clean, hit her more,’ while they continued to kick her and beat her with batons.” 80. Angélica Patricia Torres Linares reported that the police placed her against a wall and beat her with a baton while they questioned her. She stressed that this interrogation was filmed and that, after she had answered the questions, the police threatened her, saying: “now we’ve got your name and address, you and your family are fucked.” She indicated that in addition to the death threats, the police agents threatened to rape her; in particular, she underscored that a female police agent “seeing the fear in [her] face as [she …] looked at the police agent who was giving orders, said to [her]: ‘what, you liked it? Well, soon they’re all going to rape you, bitch.’” She added that, while she was being beaten, they asked her what she was doing there and said, “women are only useful for making tortillas, that [she] should be at home; that this was happening to [her] because [she] was not at home.” After questioning her, they pushed her Ariadna Sánchez Romero, her siblings, Ascención Raúl Romero Hernández and Leticia Romero Hernández, and her husband, Rubén Constantino Díaz. María Cristina Sánchez Hernández was 39 years of age at the time of the facts and was a trader. Her family consists of her companion, José Alfredo Cadena Hernández, and her children Lucía Bautista Sánchez, Pedro Jesús Bautista Sánchez, Hugo Alfredo Cadena Sánchez and Karen Leticia Cadena Sánchez. 109
