Josi Martínez: Ombudsman’s office rejects homophobic attack and condemns Miraflores guards

The Ombudsman’s office spoke out after the homophobic assault suffered by tiktoker Josi Martínez in Miraflores with his two friends. The fact has been denied on social networks.

Via 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 members of the serenazgo of the municipality of Miraflores in the face of said attack. #LesPeopleFirst ”.

In addition, the Ombudsman’s Office asked the National Prosecutor’s Office to initiate the respective investigations in order to discover the identity of the attackers.

“We condemn all acts of violence and we ask the Municipality of Miraflores to train members of the serenazgo in the duty of equal and effective protection against any act of discrimination. Likewise, we ask the Public Prosecutor’s Office to conduct the relevant investigations “they added.

remember that Josi Martínez and his affected friends pointed out that the fight took place a few meters from the staff of Miraflores serenazgo. Unfortunately, the victims claimed that they had done nothing to defend them.

It should be noted that in March 2015, the municipality of Miraflores approved an ordinance n ° 437, which aims to promote respect for equality between citizens, while prohibiting and punishing any form of discrimination in the neighborhood.

This is why the performance of a certain type of discriminatory act in the neighborhood is sanctioned by an ITU (S / .4300).

Until the closing of this note, The municipality of Miraflores has not ruled on the homophobic attack that the tiktoker Josi Martínez received with his neighborhood friends. They also did not mention the zero action of Serenazgo staff.

MINORS

After the assault on Josi Martínez and his friends, the ATV Noticias team attempted to obtain images from the security cameras located in the Larcomar shopping center to identify the young assailants.

However, the journalists left the scene empty-handed. According to them, this request was refused because several of the subjects involved were minors. Remember that Josi Martínez is only 17 years old.

Despite this, the Peruvian tiktoker has already lodged the corresponding complaint with the district police station. The tiktoker and his pair of friends, identified as María Fernanda and Aaron, hope authorities will take action on the matter.

WE HAD A KNIFE

In an interview with a journalist from Magaly TV, La Firme, Josi Martínez said that it all started when he got out of his taxi to walk around Larcomar with his friends.

“I meet a group of 12 people, they start calling me, teasing me, insulting me with insults like that ***”, he said.

After that, his friends came to his defense; however, the situation has become more violent.

“It looked like they wanted to raise their hand to Mafer, her boyfriend walks in and obviously defends her.” That’s when the brawl begins, they beat up my friend’s boyfriend. Six people on one “, noted.

Besides, Magaly Medina’s program discovered that one of the attackers had a knife, so the argument could end in a terrible tragedy.

“In the video you can see it’s a razor …”, detailed María Fernanda, who also works as a tiktoker.

“I think it would have happened to me the same or a lot worse than what they did to Aaron, because they went straight to me.”, ended the young influencer.
