In a quiet neighborhood of La Reina, Chile, the calm was abruptly interrupted by an unprecedented outbreak of violence last Saturday. Adriana Goñi, renowned human rights defender and anthropologist, was the victim of an atrocious attack while she was sharing moments of recreation with a friend in her patio. A 22 caliber shot hit her armpit area, fortunately without affecting vital organs, although the bullet remained lodged in a muscle, impossible to extract.
This devastating episode plunged Adriana into a state of shock and dismay. Through her social networks, she recounted the situation: an explosion, sharp pain and the vision of her own blood on her blouse. The community of human rights defenders, shocked by this incident, quickly mobilized to denounce and repudiate this inexcusable attack.
The Network of Memory Sites, among other groups, has raised its voice demanding a thorough investigation by the authorities. The mystery surrounding the motivation for this act takes on alarming dimensions: Was it a random criminal act or a direct attack against Adriana’s work in the defense of human rights?
The urgency of a thorough investigation is undeniable. Human rights defenders should not face threats or dangers for their tireless work in pursuit of justice and equity. It is imperative that the authorities act promptly to clarify this unfortunate event and guarantee the safety of those who fight for a more just world.
In the midst of this turbulent panorama, Adriana Goñi’s bravery shines. Despite her trauma and pain, her commitment to the cause of human rights remains strong. Her resilience is a living testament to the strength and determination of those who dedicate their lives to making the world a better place.
This attack is not only against a brave individual, it is an attack on peace and the fight for justice in Chile. It is time to show solidarity, to demand answers and to raise our voices in favor of those who tirelessly defend the fundamental rights of all.
