Trinity Cooperative belonging to the Peasant Movement Authentic Aguan Reinvicador (MARCA), (300 farmers) located on the left bank of the River Aguan was the subject this morning of May 5, 2011, of harassment, intimidation and shootings by a strong contingent of police, military and private guards. Antonio Rivas was wounded by shot in the neck.The aim of the siege of torture is to deprive families of food and water which can lead to serious health damage, particularly to malnourished children, who because of low energy reserves are likely to fall levels of blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which adds to dehydration, which may cause brain damage and even death.

It is urgent to meet the demands of MARCA and all Aguan peasant organizations, indigenous, garifuna, miskito communities. To respect the life of the base and leadership, so it will recognize the legitimate rights to land and a dignified and healthy life.

The suffering, torture, persecution, massacres, and terror in the area of the MUCA Aguan (Unified Peasant Movement of Aguan), MCA (Peasant Movement of Aguan), The Elixir, and MARCA Cooperatives are real testimonials from criminal impunity of private security guards collusion with members of the army, police, and gunmen.The Aguan has become the experimental theater of war against poor rural communities: Infantry Battalion, Naval Forces, Private Guard of the landed oligarchy and the “sicarios”
