70. On April 30, 1991, at 6 a.m., Gudmer Tulio Zárate Osorio was released without any record of his release or other document signed by the detainee being issued, and “because no evidence had been found that would justify his detention.” 105 To the contrary, it was considered necessary to await orders from above to decide whether it was appropriate to release Jeremías Osorio Rivera, because, supposedly, he had fired the shot. 106 That same day, Santa Fe Gaitán Calderón and Porfirio Osorio Rivera went to his place of detention to try and give him breakfast and see him, but this was not permitted. 107 While there, they heard Lieutenant Tello Delgado stating that the patrol would be leaving Nunumia the same day, which led Porfirio Osorio Rivera to try and obtain the signatures of members of the community to certify the good conduct of his brother and that he had no links to Shining Path, in order to achieve his release. 108 71. At around 10 a.m. on April 30, 1991, the military patrol began its return to the town of Cajatambo. 109 For the return journey to Cajatambo the members of the Battalion used horses loaned by the community, on one of which they mounted Mr. Osorio Rivera; they were accompanied by four members of the community who would return with the horses. 110 Several community members, including his family members, watched as Jeremías Osorio Rivera was led away with his face covered by a hood and his hands tied. 111 This was the last time that Jeremías Osorio Rivera’s mother, permanent companion and brother saw him. 112 105 Preliminary statement made by Juan Carlos César Tello Delgado before the Third Permanent Military Judge on June 4, 1993 (evidence file, volume IV, annex 63 to the submission of the case, folio 1870). 106 Cf.
