15 residency through the tunnel. “Tito” disappeared from the yard in that manner and [he] did not see 52 him again after that. Some shots were still being fired up until he left the house next door. 76. According to Mr. Hidetaka Ogura’s testimony before the IACHR, a few minutes after the soldiers had taken “Tito” through the tunnel to the residence, President Fujimori arrived with his security detail or advisors, entered the tunnel and headed for the residence. 53 77. The house adjacent to the residency of the Ambassador where two groups of hostages 54 were taken (one comprising eleven Japanese individuals and the other six Peruvian justices), was being guarded by members of the police. Two of them, agents Raúl Robles Reynoso and Marcial Teodorico Torres Arteaga, stated that while they were aiding the Peruvian and Japanese hostages who were arriving in the yard through a tunnel connecting the two houses, one of the hostages gestured to him that an MRTA member was among them. They proceeded to separate him from the rest, bound his hands, and radioed their immediate superior, Colonel Zamudio Aliaga, who ordered them to remain where they 55 were and he would send someone to pick him up. The MRTA member was wearing a dark green shirt 56 and dark shorts, and “visibly” was not carrying a weapon of any sort. What is more, he was absolutely 57 fine physically, but “he was acting stunned, because you could see the fear in his face.” After the police had detained him, the MRTA member even “begged for his life and [they] told him not to be afraid, that 58 nothing was going to happen to him there.” Minutes after the two police officers reported the presence of the MRTA member, a commando emerged from the tunnel, took hold of him and, despite his struggles, 59 led him back through the tunnel to the residence of the Ambassador. 78. In his statement before the Special Provincial Prosecutor for Human Rights, police agent Robles Reynoso asserted that: He thought that the captured MRTA member would be publicly presented as a prisoner and would then be interrogated or made to provide valuable information, yet … he was surprised to see on the news that all of the MRTA members had died in combat. He had remained silent, without telling 60 anyone about it for fear of some reprisal from the system, as had occurred in past cases … 52 Appendix 5, Letter dated August 20, 2001 from Hidetaka Ogura to the Judiciary of Peru, appendix to the representatives’ communication of April 22, 2008.
