Rape in Totos barracks
Testimony on systematic rape of women detainees in the Totos barracks in 1990, including an elderly woman, regardless of age.
According to testimony gathered by the CVR, all the women detained in the Totos barracks were raped without distinction of age. A declarant stated that he learned from fellow detainees that even an elderly person was raped in the military barracks. This testimony shows that rape was a systematic practice in this detention center, where the age of the victims was not respected. The case illustrates the generalized pattern of sexual violence against women detained by the forces of law and order during the internal armed conflict.
