13. According to the petition, it was only on October 18, 1994 that he was permitted to communicate with his wife. Through her he had submitted his resignation from the post of judge on October 19, 1994, determining that his detention was aimed at damaging the image of the judicial branch in Huánuco. 14. He alleges that a police statement was taken from him by JECOTE and the National Counter-Terrorism Command of Lima (DINCOTE-Lima) in the presence of the Deputy Provincial Prosecutor, without the presence of a judge, and that this statement had been misplaced. Also, on October 26, 1994, the Attorney General of the Nation, Dr. Blanca Nélida Colán Maguiña, visited and interviewed the detainee. The petitioner alleges that he complained of the injustice and psychological abuse to which he had been subjected and attaches a copy of the record of that complaint. 15. The petitioner alleges that while he was being illegally detained at the Army Military Headquarters he only had access to potable water for 10 minutes in the morning and 10 in the evening. He further alleges that during the night shots were fired in the window of his room and that in the early morning hours he heard the anguished cries of persons who were being punished. He also alleges that the authorities permitted incidents to occur in the early morning hours with the aim of driving fear into him and breaking him down, such as the entry into his cell while he was asleep of the “hooded repented female terrorist” for him to be pointed out as the “democratic attorney”. 16. According to the complaint, after 31 days of illegal detention, the Provincial Prosecutor determined that there were no grounds for charges to be brought against him, a decision that was confirmed by the Office of the Senior Prosecutor, which ordered the petitioner’s release on November 16, 1994. The petitioner attaches a copy of a request of December 13, 1995 in which he requested from the Prosecutor of the First Criminal Jurisdiction of Huánuco, Dr. Ricardo Robles Coz, certified copies of the investigation led against him, alleging that his request had not been granted.4 On December 16, 1994, he complained to the Senior Criminal Prosecutor of Huánuco, again without positive results. 17. The petitioner alleges that by being publicly accused of being a repented terrorist, his physical and personal integrity had been endangered, he had been exposed to harassment in various public places and his professional work as an attorney had been impaired. He further alleges that he and his family, especially his wife and his son Luis Idelso Galindo Díaz, had suffered grave moral harm. 18. The petitioner alleges that the Peruvian State violated his right to personal liberty, since he had been detained without a prior court order and without having been caught inflagrante delicto. He alleges that he was never formally advised of the charges against him, that he was not informed of the reasons for his detention, nor was he given any record of his detention or release. He stated that the period of his unlawful detention exceeded all legal limits, including those provided for crimes of terrorism. He adds that he was held in a detention center that was not authorized by the law. 19. The petitioner further alleges that the Peruvian State violated his right to freedom of movement and residence, since he was forced to abandon his residence in the city of Huánuco in the face of continuing threats to once again deprive him of his freedom if he did not cease his public complaints, threats that were made by the Head of the Political/Military Command of Huánuco and by the Provincial Criminal Prosecutor of Huánuco. 4 In that request, the petitioner denounced his detention as illegal and stated that he had been the victim of psychological torture and had been held incommunicado. 3
