7 same insignia, the only difference being a number, but that none of the witnesses had noted the number since they did not think that the detainee would disappear. b. Statement from Mr. Joe Roberto Ruiz-Huapaya, eye-witness He testified that he was inside his home on the day of the events, but went out when he heard sirens and saw a patrol car stop one hundred meters from his house; he had unobstructed view since he was on a higher level. He saw two police cars each carrying two police officers; two policemen got out but only one was involved in the arrest; he knew that they were policemen by their red berets and green uniforms. The detainee was approximately 21 years of age, and was wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants, and carrying a jacket. The policeman forced the boy to put his hands on the side of the car, searched him, and place him in the trunk; he did not see whether they took anything from him, but the detainee offered no resistance. A few minutes after he was placed in the trunk, another police vehicle appeared on the scene; after some conversation, the second police vehicle drove off, as did the first vehicle carrying the detainee a little later. The arrest had been witnessed by others; the policemen reopened the trunk to push in the end of the young man's jacket. He recognized the detainee as Mr. Castillo-Páez from a weekly television report on Channel 4. He further stated that he feared reprisals and that he had been summoned by the DINCOTE. He testified that the person was stopped on the road in front of the police car; that the detainee had his back to him, so that he had been unable to see his face; he did not see the number of the vehicle, which was entirely white, as police cars were at that time; the entire arrest, from the moment he saw the police car, lasted approximately ten minutes. Although he could not hear what was being said, he could hear that a conversation was taking place. c. Testimony of Ms. María Elena Castro-Osorio, eye-witness The witness testified that she was selling food at her house on the day of the events when a boy of medium height passed by dressed in dark pants and a light-colored shirt, and carrying a beige jacket; she could not remember whether or not he was wearing glasses; she was 80 meters from the other corner where she saw a police vehicle detain the young man and put him in the trunk; she knew it was the police because of the vehicle, the uniform, and the red beret; there were two policemen in the vehicle but only one of them made the arrest; the young man was not running, but walking slowly, when he was detained. There had been several witnesses to the arrest but they were afraid, as she herself was. The young man was Ernesto Rafael Castillo-Páez, as she learned days later when his father appeared and showed her photographs of him. She testified that she witnessed the events and that the boy was walking in front of the vehicle, which was white; she saw neither its number nor its registration. When she was shown a photograph of a patrol car by the State's Agent during the hearing before this Court, the witness could not remember whether it was the same as the one she had seen on the day of the events. d. Testimony of Ms. Elba Minaya-Calle, Magistrate who heard the petition of habeas corpus The witness testified that she learned from her inquiries that the 74th Brigade of San Juan de Miraflores was in charge of several police squads, including the one which is supposed to have made the arrest of the alleged victim; that is, junior personnel of the 29th Brigade radio patrol. In the course of her investigations she visited the San Juan de Miraflores Brigade; when she asked for the logs, she was first given the
