Detentions of Víctor Navarro, C2EE09 and three others connected to Brave Heart
Foundation
500. At around 4.30 a.m. on 24 January 2018, around 30 armed men and women with
covered faces wearing SEBIN uniforms raided Mr. Navarro’s apartment. Three Brave Heart
beneficiaries were sleeping there at the time. Mr. Navarro told the Mission that an officer
kicked him, held a gun to his neck and failed to present a search or arrest warrant. The officers
beat Mr. Navarro and the other men in his apartment and seized his laptop and cell phone,
before taking the four men to El Helicoide. 1046
SEBIN later filed a “record of search without warrant”, stating they were unable to locate
two citizens to witness the search, as required by law, but they proceeded in any case, without
witnesses or a warrant.1047
