Today, Saturday, there will be a national march against the freedom of Alberto Fujimori. Last Thursday, the Constitutional Court (TC) accepted a “habeas corpus” requesting the annulment of a judicial decision that suspended the pardon granted in 2017 to former president, which implies that he will be released within the next few hours.
The mobilization will take place at the national level and is called “Great National March Against Illegal Pardon”. The organization falls to groups such as No to Keiko, but university students and other civil organizations will also join. Under the hashtags #IndultoEsInsulto and #Toma LaCalle they seek to gather the largest number of people.
The appointment is at Plaza San Martín this Saturday, March 19 from 5 p.m.
As is known, on the same Thursday that the ruling of the Constitutional Court was heard, an emergency march was called in downtown Lima. Among the attendees were former ministers of the current government administration, such as the former president of the Council of Ministers, Mirtha Vásquez; the former Minister of Health, Hernando Cevallos, and the former Minister of Culture, Gisela Ortiz, who is also a family member of one of the disappeared in La Cantuta. In addition to some congressmen.
In addition, groups from various political groups and civil society participated, who moved quietly through the streets of Cercado de Lima. The Peruvian National Police were vigilant that no acts of violence were committed, but the mobilization proceeded as normal.
The call for this new mobilization has been made through social networks, against the ruling of the Constitutional Court (TC) that restores the effects of the pardon granted to Alberto Fujimori.
The protesters will ask to annul the ruling that reinstates Alberto Fujimori's pardon, in order to fulfill the integrity of the 25-year sentence as author of the murder of 25 people in the massacres of Barrios Altos (1991) and La Cantuta (1992), and for the kidnapping of businessman Samuel Dyer and journalist Gustavo Gorriti in 1992.
STATEMENT OF THE IACHR
The decision of the Constitutional Court of Peru to release former President Alberto Fujimori “affects the rights of victims of crimes against humanity,” the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) denounced Friday, which declares itself “concerned.”
In a final sentence, the court ordered on Thursday to release Fujimori, sentenced to 25 years in prison for human rights abuses, when he reinstated a pardon that was granted to him in December 2017 and annulled ten months later.
“The restitution of the pardon would result in Fujimori's release and the extinction of his sentence, which affects the rights of victims of crimes against humanity, affects their access to justice and damages their dignity,” the IACHR said in a statement.
It also “creates obstacles to the full compliance of the judgments” of the Inter-American Court in the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta cases.
After being extradited from Chile in 2007, Fujimori, who ruled between 1990 and 2000, was convicted of the massacres of Barrios Altos (15 dead, including one child) and La Cantuta (10 dead), perpetrated by military squads during his rule.
