A/HRC/45/CRP.11 The Death of C4FF24 and Detention of his Family 1228. During the 10 March 2017 operation, C4FF24’s family was inside their home in the Jardines del Valle sector. The house has two floors with an entrance, living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a laundry room on the top floor. The top floor is accessible via a staircase in the kitchen. 2195 1229. At 6.30 a.m., C4FF11, a male relative of the victim, was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for his family. The other family members were asleep in a bedroom on the ground floor, while C4FF24 was sleeping in his room on the top floor. 2196 C4FF11 heard vehicles stopping abruptly in front of his house. He looked out of the window and saw two white Toyota trucks with PNB badges on the sides. In the back of the trucks, he saw about 20 PNB Anti-Drug officers. They were all dressed in black and wearing bulletproof vests. Some of them wore balaclavas covering their faces.2197 1230. A few minutes later, C4FF11 heard knocking on his front door. Eleven officers, eight men and three women, broke in. They did not present an arrest warrant or a search warrant. Some wore black uniforms and others had covered faces, including the three female officers. Five police officers stayed on the ground floor, while six others ascended to the top floor of the house. They held a gun to C4FF11’s head.2198 1231. At 7 a.m., while C4FF24 was still upstairs, C4FF11 and his female relatives were ordered to leave the house in their underwear and pyjamas. Of the four officers that escorted them, three were women. Three vans with PNB plates were waiting outside the house. An officer in one of the vehicles gave orders to the other agents.2199 C4FF11 asked the police what was going on and why they had entered his house in that way. The officers told him that this was an OLHP and that they were acting under presidential orders. 2200 1232. C4FF11 went back into the house to see what was happening to C4FF24. He reached the top floor and saw C4FF24, sitting on the bed in his underwear, surrounded by police officers.2201 When they saw him, the police again forced C4FF11 to leave the house, threatening to beat him up. The official apparently commanding the operation ordered one of the agents to bring a pair of trousers for C4FF11.2202 1233. At 7.30 a.m., the officers forced C4FF11 and his female relatives into a white Toyota Hilux van with PNB logos. C4FF24 remained in the house alone with numerous police officers. The family was taken to the PNB command in San Bernardino, about 40 minutes from their residence,2203 arriving at the PNB Drug Enforcement Division at 8.10 a.m. They stayed there for approximately two hours. Officers made them wait outside on stools in the parking lot. They were not allowed to use their mobile phones. 2204 1234. Before leaving the sector in a PNB vehicle, C4FF11 had warned several of his acquaintances that C4FF24 was still in the house under police control.2205 That morning, at least eight people, including relatives and neighbours from the sector, went to the family’s home to look for C4FF24. Some managed to approach the house, while others were held back by a police siege. Female relatives of the family reported having been insulted by the officers while trying to reach the house.2206 Others complained that they were pushed away.2207 1235. A female relative managed to reach the house. She recalled seeing about 20 officials deployed in the sector, some of whom had dogs. She spoke to a policewoman, who told her 2195 2196 2197 2198 2199 2200 2201 2202 2203 2204 2205 2206 2207 Document C4FF14 on file with the Mission. Mission Interview C4FF11 in May 2020.
