Security situation continues to deteriorate in San Ramon

This morning Vicente called to report that at 6:30 am this morning a group of McEwan's workers accompanied by four armed private guards came to his land to threaten him. While they were on his land, they fired 20 shots. Vicente took photos of the men and collected the spent cartridges to present as evidence of McEwan's aggression to the San Ramon police department. However, he has been to the San Ramon police department many times before to accuse McEwan of sending men to threaten his family but has found local police unresponsive to his concerns.

In the past month these raids have become increasingly frequent and Vicente continues to fear for his life and that of his family. That McEwan's men are able to raid Vicente's land and threaten his family with total impunity is evidence of the partiality of the local police and the breakdown of law and order in the Matagalpa province.
