On July 1, 1996, the Commission presented its comments on the above brief, reiterating the arguments it adduced in its request of May 30, 1996, for provisional measures, reporting that Ms. María Elena Loayza-Tamayo was subjected to a regime of incommunicado detention in which she is deprived of light and is confined to a tiny cell for twenty-three and a half hours a day, which facts constitute "in themselves, forms of cruel and inhuman treatment." The Commission also repeated its request that the Court order Peru "[to] bring to an end the solitary confinement and incommunicado detention imposed on María Elena Loayza-Tamayo on April 9, 1996, and that she be returned to Block "A" of the Chorrillos Women's Maximum Security Penitentiary, in the same conditions in which she had been held prior to her transfer." 28.

The Commission, in its comments of September 12, 1996, reiterated its request to the Court that it call upon Peru to bring to an end the solitary confinement imposed on Ms. María Elena Loayza-Tamayo, since her health has deteriorated, owing to the fact that she is subjected to an inhuman and degrading regime, derived from her state of incommunicado and 23,5 hours of incarceration per day, from a humid and cold prison, measuring approximately two by three meters, without direct ventilation, where there are cement slabs, a letrine and lavatory for hands...
