Arrest and rape of Rosa Quiste Rupay

Rosa Quiste Rupay was detained on February 26, 1993 by members of the Army. She was transferred to El Milagro where she was held in a room. The case is mentioned in the context of documenting sexual violence during the internal armed conflict, specifically in relation to the difficulty of victims to denounce these crimes due to shame and fear. This case illustrates the pattern of arbitrary detentions followed by sexual violence perpetrated by State agents during the conflict period.
