Dania Maria Esplugas staunchly rejected the government's version of her son's death, asserting that Manuel de Jesus Guillen Esplugas was not a victim of suicide but rather a victim of state-perpetrated violence. She vividly described the trauma of receiving the death news from agents at midnight, emphasizing her heartbreak and disbelief at her son's fate. A mother’s anguish was palpable as she protested the official narrative; she maintains that the bruises and signs of physical abuse on her son indicate murder, not suicide.
In a powerful and heart-rending statement, Dania revealed details surrounding her son's treatment in prison, claiming that the clothes he was wearing at the time of his death were drenched in urine and bore muddy footprints. This, she believes, serves as a cruel illustration of the mistreatment and torture he endured prior to his death. Dania is adamant that the circumstances of her son’s demise point to violence inflicted by the authorities rather than a tragic decision made by him.
Dania's grief was captured in a moving video clip that circulated widely on social media platforms, where she cried out in anguish over the death of her son. She exclaimed, 'They killed him! They killed one of my sons, but I hold him alive here in my heart.' The sheer despair and anger she expressed reflect the ongoing pain not only of losing a child but the societal climate prompting such loss, positioning Dania as a voice against state brutality.
Describing her son's final moments, Dania painted a grim picture of his condition post-incarceration. She noted visible markings on his body and the disparity between what was declared by authorities and the reality she confronted. She firmly believes 'the signs of violence that were inflicted upon him are an explicit testament to the truth of what he experienced in prison. This should not be dismissed as mere suicide; it was a murder in cold blood.'
