The national coordinator for human rights reported on Sunday that Saturday’s police crackdown left, in addition to two young people dead and at least 114 injured, a total of 41 missing.
The Constitutional Court (TC) of Peru has asked the National Police “the immediate location, identification and custody of the more than 40 disappeared” during the city demonstrations that this Saturday were violently repressed by the security forces.
The top interpreter of the Peruvian Constitution spoke on Twitter this Sunday 15-N after the reports of disappearances and the request by citizens, civil organizations, politicians and the press to be aware of the people who have not yet been located by your family and your friends.
The agency also recalled that the “habeas corpus” appeal before the courts “can be used as a mechanism to force joint institutional action to locate missing persons”.
Official silence
After the total resignation of the government headed by Manuel Merino, massively rejected by the citizens, both the Ministry of the Interior and the National Police of Peru (PNP) are silent despite the fact that Peruvian law indicates that reports of disappearances must be investigate immediately.
The national coordinator for human rights (CNDDHH) reported this Sunday that Saturday’s police crackdown left, in addition to two young people dead and at least 114 injured, a total of 41 missing.
In this regard, the organization asked the Ministry of Defense to allow a special commission to enter three police barracks because “dozens of young people have not returned home”.
“Where are the missing?” They asked hundreds of protesters who gathered this Sunday in the Miraflores district to demand a response from the security forces.
The Peruvian Public Prosecutor’s Office announced, for its part, that it is investigating the “serious violations of human rights” during last Saturday’s repression in Lima against the massive demonstrations of rejection by the government headed by Merino.
The investigation was entrusted to the Third Supranational Criminal Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Terrorism and Human Rights, which will also open investigations for serious and minor injuries to the detriment of those injured during the demonstration “and around cases of disappearances in social mobilization”.
Quick request
The Prosecutor’s Office regretted the deaths and violence unleashed against the demonstrators and guaranteed that the investigations will be conducted “with the corresponding transparency, objectivity and speed”.
The Inter-American Commission for Human Rights (IACHR) warned, for its part, “that there is no precise information” on the total number of injured and that the number of detainees on the day is not known, so it joined the appeal of the office of the Peruvian Ombudsman to offer this list.
After the tragic balance of the repression, and in the face of the country’s general request, Merino announced his “irrevocable” resignation from the Presidency while Congress has convened an extraordinary plenary session that this Sunday will try to find a constitutional solution to the crisis and find a successor to the president.
