00:00Hello, good morning. I am Maria Monjica, the partner of Eri Beliumer, who is going through an incredible situation.
00:07These cases are still happening in the Dominican Republic.
00:10Eri Beliumer was arrested on January 10 by the police of Politur, here in Friusa Bávaro, and the police of Trata de Personas.
00:22They approached him in a very, very strange way.
00:24Behind his business, they went and asked the employees for him, for the owner of the vehicle.
00:29Not directly his name, but the owner of the vehicle.
00:31And when he went, from the back, where there are no cameras, they went and told him that this vehicle had a broken glass.
00:40And he explained to them that it was an accident, that he had asked for it from Shanghai, and that it had not arrived yet.
00:46They asked for his passport, he gave it to them, and they told him that this passport did not have a stamp.
00:54And he told them, the stamp is in the old one, because he entered here in 2019.
00:58And they told him, let's look for him.
01:02They told him no, they took him.
01:03They took him through here, through Politur, through Politur de Friusa, where there is no record that he passed through there.
01:09Then they took him to Verón, to a medical center, where a doctor made a paper that everything was fine.
01:14But without checking it.
01:15And from there they gave it to a person, who transported him to the fair, to the migration of the fair.
01:22From there there was no one to receive us, because they arrived very late at night.
01:26And they took him on vacation to Lejaina.
01:31They took him on vacation to Lejaina.
01:33They took his phone away.
01:34He tells me that they interrogated him the following Saturday.
01:37And they asked him what it was, what it was.
01:39And he told me this, this, this.
01:40And nothing.
01:41They kept his phone.
01:43We did not know where he was, because we were not informed.
01:46On Monday, the 13th, my sister and I found him.
01:50Looking, asking, investigating, using some contacts that he does not know.
01:55They told us, well, because of the situation, he must be in such and such place.
01:58And that's how we found him.
02:02Then, from there, on Wednesday, they gave his phone to him.
02:06Because he was demanded that everyone else had their phones.
02:08Well, perfect.
02:10There is a person who works in immigration, who could give the name, but ...
02:15He told him that he had to leave the country.
02:19He tells him, okay, let him go.
02:22The person demands from us to buy a flight.
02:25We tell him that it's okay, that he gives us a little time to buy it.
02:28Then, when they start demanding that it must be the weekend, that he has to go on the weekend,
02:33that is, he had to leave the country on the 18th or 19th.
02:40We do not buy the flight because we talk to people and they told us that it is illegal.
02:44They do not buy any flight.
02:46In that, on the 18th, on the 19th, they went to look for him at 5 in the afternoon.
02:53And they brought him to the Punta Cana airport with a bought flight that no one knows who bought it.
02:58Guarded by an immigration person.
03:00I have photos and I have videos of him saying that he does not want to go, that they are forcing him.
03:06He could not leave the country because the passport had been reported as stolen.
03:16Then they came back and brought him here, to Politur de Friusa.
03:24They came back and brought him here, to Politur de Friusa.
03:26There he was until January 21, when two people went to look for him at 5 in the afternoon and took him.
03:35Well, from then on, on the 24th, now, there was a hearing,
03:45on Thursday the 24th in San Cristobal, where the judge gave him freedom.
03:49And they have not wanted to accept or accept that order from the judge.
03:54They have the sentence in their hands and say no.
03:58Yesterday the lawyer spent four hours with the immigration director.
04:06They did not stay at all.
04:08There is a meeting on Wednesday now.
04:10Yesterday they handcuffed him and took him to the office of Colonel Delgado Reyes,
04:15so that he could sign some documents to make him an express passport and send him to Canada.
04:24He did not sign because everything is illegal.
04:27Everything that is happening.
04:29Those are the facts that I can say.
04:33They still have him in their power, they do not release him, they do not say anything.
04:37They arrested him without an order.
04:39There is no extradition order.
04:41His embassy says it has nothing to do with that.
04:44Nothing to do with that, because they told him that his embassy was looking for him.
04:47We have kept in touch with his embassy, even he called his embassy in Canada,
04:51and they told him that they are not looking for him and that they have no knowledge of what is happening.
