and Blas Valencia Campos were kept for 70 days under closed regime, with no communication or
sunlight.92
84. On March 6, 2002, Blas Valencia Campos filed before the Ombudsman a complaint against
the governor of the San Pedro de Chonchocoro Prison due to unlawful isolation. In this complaint,
he reported that, together with Oswaldo Lulleman, Carlos Cruz Añez, Enrique Castro Ramírez,
Genaro Ahuacho Luna, Alfredo Bazán y Rosas and other detainees, he had been kept for more
than 60 days under closed regime. Following measures taken by the Ombudsman’s office, they
were transferred to open cells, a situation that was verified by that office on March 5, 2002.93
85. When the women arrived at the Miraflores Prison, they were taken to a single cell and were
not given either food or blankets.94 During their time in that prison they were not provided with
medical care. They merely received the visit of a forensic physician who did not even auscultate
them.95
86. On April 12, 2002, Genaro Ahuacho Luna (also known as Walter Herrera Ríos) lost
consciousness momentarily. The Chonchocoro Prison doctor diagnosed that he had had a stroke
and recommended transferring him to a hospital.96 According to Víctor Boggiano Bruzzón, who
shared a cell with Genaro Ahuacho Luna, more than four hours passed before they took him to a
hospital, leaving him without medical attention during that time.97 Finally, he was transferred to
the Corazón de Jesús Hospital where he was interned with a presumptive diagnosis of an ischemic
cerebrovascular accident involving the middle left cerebral artery, acute coronary syndrome with
probable acute myocardial infarction, and treatment was initiated. However, on April 14, 2002, at
1:15 a.m. he suffered sudden respiratory failure, and was intubated and put on a mechanical
ventilator. At 6:50 p.m. he suffered irreversible cardio-respiratory arrest and died.98
B.4. The death of María Fernanda Peña Gallardo

an emotional crisis. In the indictment filed by the Public Prosecution Service for the crimes of

In his statement before Pablo Gabriel García during a psychological appraisal, he indicated: “I took care of him;
he had a stroke. He was lying on the bed. I called out to him: Walter! and he merely (action of moving arms and legs
compulsively). The doctor said that they were going to look after him. But he only brought paracetamol. The light faded
from his eyes and he stopped moving. This had a profound impact on me. Police! Come and get him! I began to yell.
No one responded. They came to get him around 5 or 6 a.m., but it was already too late. From 2 to 6
a.m. they waited without doing anything. The doctor looked at him as he passed by. He did nothing. The only thing
he did was … from time to time he took his pulse. They wanted him to die! (Psychological appraisal in relation to the
supposed cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of Víctor Manuel Boggiano Bruzzón conducted by Pablo Gabriel
García in August 2021, evidence file, folio 9867).
