The Ombudsman’s Office spoke after the homophobic attack suffered by the tiktoker Josi Martínez in Miraflores with his two friends. The fact has been repudiated on social networks.
Through its official Twitter account, the entity wrote the following: ”We reject the homophobic attack suffered by the influencer Josi Martínez, as well as the null action of the serenazgo members of the Municipality of Miraflores in the face of said aggression. #ThePeopleFirst ”.
In addition, the Ombudsman’s Office asked the National Prosecutor’s Office to initiate the respective investigations in order to find out the identity of the aggressors.
“We condemn all acts of violence and we ask the Municipality of Miraflores to train the members of the serenazgo on the duty of equal and effective protection against any act of discrimination. Likewise, we ask the Prosecutor’s Office to carry out the pertinent investigations “they added.
Remember that Josi Martínez and his affected friends pointed out that the fight occurred a few meters from the Miraflores serenazgo staff. Unfortunately, the victims claimed that they did nothing to defend them.
It should be noted that, in March 2015, the municipality of Miraflores approved an ordinance No. 437, which aims to promote respect for equality among citizens, while prohibiting and sanctioning any form of discrimination in the district.
That is why carrying out some type of discriminatory act in the district is sanctioned with an UIT (S / .4300).
Until the closing of this note, The Municipality of Miraflores has not ruled on the homophobic attack that tiktoker Josi Martínez received together with his friends in the district. Nor have they referred to the null action of the serenazgo staff.
MINORS
After the aggression suffered by Josi Martínez and his friends, the ATV Noticias team tried to obtain the images of the security cameras that are located in the Larcomar shopping center to identify the young aggressors.
However, the journalists left the place empty-handed. According to them, this request was denied, since several of the subjects involved were minors. Let’s remember that Josi Martínez is only 17 years old.
Despite this, the Peruvian tiktoker has already filed the corresponding complaint at the district police station. The tiktoker and his pair of friends, identified as María Fernanda and Aaron, hope that the authorities will take action on the matter.
ONE HAD A KNIFE
In an interview with a Magaly TV reporter, La Firme, Josi Martínez said that it all started when he was getting out of his taxi to enjoy a walk through Larcomar with his friends.
“I meet a group of 12 people, they start calling me, teasing me, insulting me with insults like ca ***”, he indicated.
After that, his friends came to his defense; however, the situation became more violent.
“It sounded like they want to raise their hand to Mafer, her boyfriend gets in and obviously defends her. That’s when the fight starts, they beat my friend’s boyfriend. Six people over one “, said.
What’s more, Magaly Medina’s program discovered that one of the aggressors had a knife, so the dispute could end in a terrible tragedy.
“In the video you can see that it is a razor …”, detailed María Fernanda, who also works as a tiktoker.
“I think the same or much worse would have happened to me than what they did to Aaron, because they went straight to me”, finished the young influencer.
