Fallecimiento de siete jóvenes en el contexto de hechos ocurridos alrededor de un operativo
policial y el presunto asesinato de un Fiscal. Según las informaciones recibidas, el 25 de mayo de
2011, los cuerpos sin vida de siete jóvenes con signos de violencia aparecieron en un área
próxima a la Colonia Ciudad Planeta, en el Municipio de la Lima. Se habría producido un
enfrentamiento entre un contingente policial formado por agentes de la Policía Preventiva y la
Dirección Nacional de Investigación Criminal y jóvenes vinculados a la pandilla “Mara 18”. El
Fiscal a cargo de la Fiscalía Especial de Derechos Humanos en la ciudad de San Pedro Sula
solicitó de oficio a la Policía Nacional información sobre los hechos. La actuación del Ministerio
Público se sustentó en la existencia de varios testimonios que indicaban que no se habría
producido ningún enfrentamiento en la Colonia Ciudad Planeta y que, antes de aparecer los
cuerpos sin vida de varios jóvenes, las víctimas habrían sido buscadas en sus casas por personas
que se identificaban como agentes policiales. En la tarde del día 27 de mayo de 2011, el Fiscal
Raúl Enrique Reyes Carbajal habría sido asesinado con arma de fuego por tres individuos
desconocidos cuando regresaba en coche a su casa después de la jornada laboral.

letters signed by the president of the university on the basis of violations of the university‟s rules
of conduct, including “causing any noise within the university campus” and “protesting against
the legitimate institutions and agitating against national unity”.
