“I just want justice for my son, the damn police have shot him”

On January 9, 2023, in the context of social protests in Juliaca (Puno), her son left an Internet booth to look for her, but they never found each other. In an interview with Intermedia Producciones, Brayan Apaza Jumper’s mother recalls how she found out that his 15-year-old son had been shot.

“My son received a call saying ‘Your little brother is the one who has been shot on Moquegua street.’ He had a bullet in his head, they showed me the tomography, there was the bullet, lodged in his brain“, says the mother of the deceased minor.

Once at the hospital, the doctor called her, she thought it was to tell her that her son had been saved, but it was to tell her to be strong because Brayan had passed away.

“I just want justice for my son, my son was shot by the damn police. My son was not in the demonstration, my son was only on the Internet and looked back towards my house. I have never been in demonstrations before, but now I am going to fight for my son. I want justice,” Brayan Apaza Jumper’s mother said.
