translated from Spanish: “We’re going to kill them queers!”

A gay couple, identified as e.G.A.B. of 30 years and R.I.M.B. of 28, reported that they were beaten amid homophobic insults by the workers of the “Los Partners Three” botsillería, located in Recoleta.
Movilh Human Rights Officer Ramón Gómez recounted the facts noting that “after paying an account, a worker demanded that E.G.A.B. cancel again, giving him for no reason a fist bump to his face through the fence. In the face of this, R.I.M.B. consulted “why they beat my partner,” which led to homophobic beatings and insults.”
One of the assailants reacted to the couple with the phrase “more on top of them are faggots, bastards, cursed,” then get out of the knee pad and tip fists and kicks to the youngest of them, as well as threatening them that “we’re going to kill them faggots.”  After they were attacked, those affected report the appearance of a red van in which the botguard owner was carrying a firearm.
“At that moment E.G.A.B. ran for help, meeting Carabineros, but in an unexpected event the two officers, identified by the acronym A.C. and C.C., far from hearing the complaint, got out of their police van and greeted the owner of the bottling as if they knew each other,” said one of the victims.
It was after the failed attempt to call the police authority for help, they headed to the Sixth Police Station in Recoleta to file a complaint, which ended up in their arrest, falsely accusing them of attempted assault on the botty, they reportedly reported. The Movilh claims that “they were kept in detention until 5 AM, without giving them any explanation and only at that time they took a statement.”
At the time of detection of injuries in the urgent care certificate, the “traumatic injuries and bruises” presented by E.G.A.B and the “injuries in the dorsal area with multiple bruises and puncture wounds in the left arm” that had R.I. . M.b.
Along with providing legal guidance to the couple, the Movilh announced that it will report what had happened to Carabineros’ Human Rights Directorate for investigation into police proceedings.
“We express our maximum repudiation of this hate attack that damages the dignity of two people just because they are a couple. We deeply regret that Carabineros did not perform an efficient procedure and repeat what is customary: in similar attacks it is the victims who end up in detention, this cannot continue to happen,” Gomez said.
