Cajahuanca, who was in charge of the operation, gave the order to kill all of those
who were surrendering. Afterwards, the inmates returned to pavilion 6A. Pavilion 1 A
was closed for at least two or three months in order to be rebuilt.
Since he belonged to the English army and received instructions regarding
armaments, he was able to identify the weapons that were used during the days of
the attacks to the criminal center, which are used to cause the greatest damage
possible. He also recognized the men in uniform that participated in the attack, who
besides belonging to the Police and Army, were part of the special assault forces.
He considers that the assault on the women was premeditated. Force was used in a
massive scale and it was designed to cause as many deaths and injuries as possible.

Edith Tinta, mother of the alleged victim Mónica Feria Tinta
She referred to the arrest of her daughter, who was transferred to the Criminal
Center Castro Castro one week before the events. After the facts occurred in the
criminal center, her daughter Mónica continued detained and incommunicado without
her next of kin being able to provide her with clothes, food, or books.
She referred to her daughter’s acquittal in 1993 and to what allegedly happened to
her after that.
The witness and her husband have suffered since their daughter was accused of
terrorism, they have suffered from health problems, they have not been able to see
her for approximately 14 years, and they have been subject to all type of injustices
and persecutions by the State.

Rubeth Feria Tinta, sister of the alleged victim Mónica Feria
Tinta
The witness and her mother stood in the outsides of the Miguel Castro Castro Prison
awaiting information on the state of her sister. The next of kin of the inmates were
moved away by police officers with the use of tear gases and gunshots. Her mother
fainted and threw up due to the gas. During four days there were detonations,
explosions, and shots fired. They witnessed how the pavilion 1A was completely
brought down. The next of kin were mistreated when they presented themselves at
the morgue and the authorities denied them all information of the deaths and
injuries. After the four days of attack her sister was transferred to the criminal center
of Santa Mónica. From that moment on they were not allowed to visit her or provide
her with clothes, food, or medicine. Five months later the next of kin were allowed to
see her when she was taken to a proceeding to the Palace of Justice and,
subsequently, they were allowed to visit her in the criminal center of Santa Mónica
for 10 or 15 minutes.
After the facts, the Feria Tinta family has suffered for the way in which Mónica has
been stigmatized in the media, especially the mother who already suffers from high
blood pressure and sleeping problems.
