Former President Alberto Fujimori, who could be released from prison in the next few hours after a ruling by the Constitutional Court, would have to stay in the country if he is that the Prosecutor's request regarding the impediment of Alberto Fujimori's departure from the country in the Pativilca case is approved, reported the Association for Human Rights (Aprodeh).

The session will be held from 8:30 a.m. in the room chaired by Judge Miluska Cano.

It should be noted that, last weekend, Keiko Fujimori, assured that his father would not leave the country even though he could return to prison with another court ruling Inter-American Human Rights (IDH). “He stays in Peru and we are going to pass all the exams here with the Peruvian doctors,” he said.

PATIVILCA CASE

Alberto Fujimori is accused along with 22 other people, including members of the Colina group and members of the Armed Forces, for the Pativilca massacre.

On January 29, 1992, six people from the El Caraqueño and San José annexes in Pativilca (in the province of Barranca, department of Lima) were abducted, tortured and killed. The victims were John Calderón Ríos (18), Toribio Ortiz Aponte (25), Felandro Castillo Manrique (38), Pedro Aguero Rivera (35), Ernesto Arias Velasquez (17) and Cesar Rodriguez Esquivel (29).

Jorge Ortiz Mantas, a former member of Grupo Colina and Army technician, confessed at an audience that he participated in the massacre and that it was carried out by the aforementioned military group. In addition, he said that Grupo Colina depended on former General Nicolás Hermoza Ríos during Alberto Fujimori's tenure.

In the Pativilca case, Fujimori is accused of mediated authorship and the Third Superior National Criminal Prosecutor's Office requested 25 years in prison and the payment of civil compensation of 500,000 soles for the victims' legal heirs.

TC DEMORA FOUL

As is recalled, on March 17, the Constitutional Court (TC) declared a habeas corpus founded in favor of Alberto Fujimori and restored the effects of the humanitarian pardon granted by former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2017. However, the details of the TC resolution that would initiate the administrative process for Fujimori's release have not yet been published.

This Wednesday, Keiko Fujimori said he waited calmly for the resolution of the TC that will get his father out of prison.

Meanwhile, the Court (IDH) allowed the Peruvian State until March 25 to send its observations on the provisional measures in relation to the Constitutional Court (TC) ruling.

UN EXPERTS SPEAK OUT

On Tuesday, UN human rights experts opposed the TC's decision, noting that this may represent an unacceptable regression in the country's struggle. against impunity for serious human rights violations committed during his administration.

Victims of human rights violations waited for justice for a long time, and this decision represents a hurtful setback for them,” they said, adding that the presidential pardon granted in 2017 had been found inconsistent with legal requirements.

“The Constitutional Court's decision to release Mr. Fujimori and restore a presidential pardon granted to him in 2017 appears to be inconsistent with international human rights standards that restrict the use of pardon in cases of crimes against humanity,” they added.
