- At the beginning of the second administration of Carlos Andrés Pérez, on July 17, 1989, a police commander of the General Sectorial Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services (DISIP), under the orders of Henry López Sisco, shot down five unarmed social activists near Plaza Tiuna, on Roosevelt Avenue in Caracas.
- The victims were: Luis Alfonso Barroso, Néstor Luis Hurtado, the brothers Hernán José Cova and José Ramón Cova, as well as Ángel César Camacho.
- Henry López Sisco was materially and intellectually responsible for several bloody events that occurred between 1974 and 2202.
- They talk about the execution and disappearance of many student leaders and political persecuted people. He was also the brain behind several simulations of punishable acts, to disguise his crimes with the assembly of false criminal and communication positives.
- His record, under the orders of the governments of Carlos Andrés Pérez I and II, Jaime Lusinchi and Luis Herrera Campins, left its mark in the last century in the massacres of: Cantaura (1982), Yumare (1986), El Amparo (1988), El Caracazo (1989) and the assault on the headquarters of the Cuban Embassy during the coup against President Chávez in April 2002.
- The case of Plaza Tiuna was the subject of a communication treatment far removed from reality. **** There was not a single newspaper with national and regional circulation that did not criminalize those massacred and echoed the false positive orchestrated by commissioner López Sisco. Alejandro Izaguirre was Minister of Internal Relations and five months had passed since the social outbreak called El Caracazo.
- This is how the media covered up the murders of López Sisco: “Five suspected criminals died”, “The police killed 5 gunmen”, “Five robbers died”, among others.
