48 protest for the attack, which “gave her strength” to hold on to her life. In the truck the soldiers, who told them they were going to kill them, threatened them or “throw them off” on the way to the hospital, and one of the soldiers kicked her in the face. In the hospital she did not receive the necessary medical attention; she was not bathed and the flies would stand on her body, which was covered with blood; she was left without food, because due to her injuries she could not eat by herself and nobody would help her; she was naked in front of all the soldiers that were guarding her and they constantly aimed at her with guns; and they did not let her use the bathroom in private or receive visits from her next of kin. During all that time she was mistreated by the soldiers. In the hospital Consuelo, Noemí (she does not remember their surnames) and María Villegas died due to lack of attention. She was later transferred to the prison of Chorrillos, barefoot and dressed with a robe that the Red Cross gave her. In that prison the inmates remained in overcrowded conditions, in cells that did not have the normal hygiene conditions, without water, badly fed, and they were not allowed to perform activities such as reading, work, or going outside to the yard. Approximately 5 months after the attacks on the criminal center they were able to receive a visit; however, they were not allowed to touch their next of kin. She was prosecuted by ‘faceless’ judges and she was declared innocent. Her life has changed radically since the events in the Criminal Center Castro Castro, not only because of the scars on her body which do not let her lead a normal life, but also because she has been stigmatized as a terrorist. When she was released she wanted to start a new life with her family, but she has not been able to. She will always remember those events that left her scarred for life. Besides, she also has disorders, since during the first years she would have nightmares about the criminal center, the bodies, and the executions. Referring to the facts in the criminal center and to all the painful situations she went through, the witness stated “[…] I really do not know why so much hate [, …] I do not know why human beings can reach those levels of evil.” She also referred to the values she transmits to her students in her professional life, because although she saw so much evil, there were also people who helped her. 2. Julia Genoveva Peña Castillo, mother of the alleged victims Julia Marlene Olivos Peña and Víctor Javier Olivos Peña She is the mother of two inmates that were imprisoned in the criminal center Castro Castro. On the morning of May 6, 1992 she found out through the news that something was happening in the criminal center and she immediately went to its installations. She arrived at the criminal center at approximately 7:00 hours. There were a lot of soldiers and members of the press. The next of kin of the inmates that found out what as going on also arrived, and since it was a Wednesday of visits, more relatives continued to arrive. At around 3:00 p.m. more force was used and more soldiers arrived. The next of kin did not receive any type of information with regard to the disturbances in the criminal center and they received a “very strong” treatment from the soldiers. On the afternoon of May 9, 1992 the attack was intensified. Many of the mothers hugged “because the noise from the cannons reached [their] hearts.” You could see
