My name is Camila
Daz Córdova.
I was 29 years old.
A Transgender woman
from El Salvador
Do you know what
happened to me in my country?
I escaped to the greater
United Nations of America
From my country for
life
I reached American
detention center in 2017
I applied for my
asylum
But in four
months, the United States sent me back.
My countries three police officers killed me
They are my Salvadorian police officers, Jaime Geovany
Mendoza Rivas, Luis Alfredo Avelar Sandoval, and Carlos Valentn Rosales Carpio.
They killed me on January 31, 2019.
Do you know how they killed me?
They forced me
into the back of a pickup truck.
Beaten me severely
Hurled my body into the bushes
They threw my body out of a moving truck.
They tortured and killed me.
Like our
religious fundamentalism torture pig before killing him
Have you seen
someone torturing and killing a pig in Afghanistan or Pakistan?
Or
In Palestine, or by any Muslim family
When they are
torturing pig in front of millions of
Psychologically
ill people
He wants to die
soon.
But they won’t
kill you once.
They torture and
torture you.
They tear your
organs with life
They remove your
body parts with life.
They would kill
you by torture.
Pig wanted to
die, but her torturers were cruel human beings.
They didn’t kill
her.
Like a pig in
their fanatics' hands
My El Salvador police tortured me before killing me.
That is the respect, honour, and dignity they give the LGBTQ community.
And I died after a few days.
Hundreds of
thousands of my queer community
They are dying,
not only in my El Salvador
But also in Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico.
We are collectively known as the Northern Triangle.
Central America is
our death places
Northern Triangle
is our persecution places
Northern Triangle
is our genocide places
Many of my
community's people are fleeing to the United States
From Central
America for asylum
But
The USA is sending us back to die
Advanced countries are accepting millions of asylum seekers and refugees with extremist ideologies with fear Or with the intention of oil.
However, we, the sexual minorities, are
Most powerless
communities are so
Every advanced
country is sending us back.
Sending us back is
not a recent phenomenon.
But historical
We can’t bring
oil.
Or we can’t fear
them like millions of extremist ideologues
America has
airlifted millions of extremist ideologues
But America is
sending us back
Because we are
peace loving community
I have a dream
I dream of saving
my people not only from the Northern Triangle
But also from
Africa and Islamic families
Where we are
butchered
Asylum laws should
not reject sexual minorities.
How to explain to
you our pain and suffering?
How to explain to
you our internal and external war on us?
How do I explain
our society's death gallows to you?
Accept my sisters
and brothers irrespective of their race
Your laws should
protect weaker sections like mine.
You rejected me.
They killed me.
You accepted tens
of millions of extremists
They are harming
your peace.
But we are with you
in your peacebuilding.
We are a
peace-loving community.
We are a joyful
community.
We don’t have a
dream of amassing wealth like they do.
We have no desire
to give your tax dollars to extremists.
We are democrats
We are not
religious extremists.
We don’t have six
child wives and sixty children.
We are a joyful
community.
We are not a
harmful community.
We are productive
We are
progressive.
We are
humanitarians.
We are scientific
We are rational
Your lives are
safe at our hands
You can sleep
without fear of religious fundamentalism.
We never carried
out your 9/11 attack.
We never kill
thousands of people.
We never cause
harm.
Ours is a loving
community
Ours is not a
hating community.
Your tolerant
hating community
Refusing to accept
loving community
If you accepted me
in 2017
I would not be
killed in 2019
Have a heart for
my sexual minority community.
Please and thank
you
This is my last
wish
Could you please fulfill my dream?
