@leh_vanessa While I'm not in a position to verify Romero's detailed account, it is here: eldeber.com.bo/99015_carlos-romero-el-rescate-de-illanes-requeria-de-5000-hombres Romero reports he ordered a police pullback, but an ultimately deadly incident (killing Rubén Aparaya Pillco) came about anyway.

@leh_vanessa Illanes was with the cooperativist miners for total of 7-8 hours, most of that as their captive; the death of the miner reportedly set off the beating and eventual torture of him, midway during this period.
