Euva and Garth recently received nearly 2000 pages of documents that allowed them to finally understand how their land was occupied. The papers are riddled with obvious discrepancies and the offending parties are clearly named. This has led to Euva and Garth filing lawsuits in La Paz courts in an attempt to begin the process of reclaiming the land they lived on for 20+ years. On May 16, 2013, El Sudcaliforniano newspaper printed a police report on the lawsuit and incident. (You can ignore the photo on the page. That has nothing to do with Euva and Garth’s actions.)
They Violated The Law In The Eviction At Batequitos
And this from Euva:
…the meeting in Spanish on Tuesday was about raising community awareness and gathering forces to demand that law and justice be respected in the state of BCS. In regards to our case it was the Spanish version of what Garth explained at the beach on Friday. I would like to let you know there was an article in today Thursday’s SudCaliforniano in Section E Policiaca in regards to the penal lawsuit our lawyers have placed against the parties responsible for the illegal invasion of our property, “Batequito”… Today we had a judicial inspection of the property to verify our claim and tomorrow we have a hearing to decide whether we get our possession back while the case follows its legal course. Fingers crossed that there is such a thing as an ethical judge.
Sadly, one of Euva’s horses died from injuries sustained during the occupation. My elementary understanding of the papers and newspaper story is that the eviction was authorized by a labor court (while a higher authorized court was considering the opposing parties legal suits) that has absolutely no jurisdiction nor power to order evictions. Something is truly rotten in Baja Sur.
