police station two or three times, knowing all the while that they were surreptitiously watching me; I helped
the person in custody with his police statement. Everything I did was above board. Then, two days later I
returned to Lima for family and professional reasons. I did not continue to advise this individual, but
returned to this city after ten or twelve days. I no longer assisted this individual with his defense. However,
71
at the request of his mother, I was present for the search of his residence.

On October 29, 1994, the “Amplified Declaration from Applicant” code number A1J054967 was
taken in the offices of DECOTE-PNP-Hco. Present for the occasion was the representative from the Public
74
Prosecutor’s Office, Dr. Ricardo Robles y Coz, and a PNP officer.
The text of the Declaration states that the
applicant pointed out that he was unaware of “the structure of the organs created by the PCP-SL” but that he had
learned “through media reports –both verbal and written-about the work done by the ‘Democratic Lawyers’ to
defend the terrorists, as these attorneys dedicated themselves to fervently defending the subversive elements
75
associated with the Sendero Luminoso.” When asked whether he could identify the roles performed by the
PILCO PACO terrorist criminals known as (c) “Guillermo”, Noemí Huaccha Sánchez (c) “Yersi”, and the wife of
“Guillermo” known as (c) “Lida”, he said the following: “That he knew that they belonged to the sinister
organization known as Sendero Luminoso, because they said as much; however, they didn’t specify either their
76
position or rank within that organization.” When asked which subversive groups linked to the PCP-SL movement
of popular artists (MAP) he had advised, he answered as follows: “He had partially advised Fernando Salinas
Solórzano, who was linked to the group whose façade was “Semilla Amor,” according to the police accusation that
was part of a criminal case brought in the courts; he clarified that “my advisory services were confined to the
77
police stage of the proceedings.”
