Likewise, the prisoners presented injuries in their backs and extremities. Besides, the majority of the inmates that died presented between 3 and 12 bullet wounds in the areas of the head and thorax (supra para 197(39); despite that during the development of the “operative” several international bodies and other organizations offered to intervene so that the violence would cease, the State did not use other means different to their lethal force (supra para. 197(35)); on the last day of the “operative” the state agents fired their weapons against the inmates that exited pavilion 4B, after they had requested not to be shot at; that is, they fired their weapons indiscriminately against inmates that were under the control of state authorities and did not represent a danger that called for the use of force (supra para. 197(37)); some of the inmates that were under the control of state authorities were separated from the group and killed by police agents (supra para. 197(38)); during the days of the “operative” it was published that, on at least two occasions (supra para. 197(28) and 197(30)), the then President of the Republic, Alberto Fujimori, met at the installations of the General Army Command, known as “Pentagonito (Small Pentagon)”, with his Cabinet and police and military authorities, to evaluate the situation at the criminal center and to determine the actions to be followed. Likewise, on May 10th Fujimori went to the criminal center and walked among the prisoners lying face down on the floors of the prison’s courtyards (supra para. 197(42)); once the “operative” had finished and being the inmates under the control of state authorities, the State did not offer some of them the necessary medical attention, for hours and in some cases for days, which led to some of the dying and others resulting with permanent physical consequences (supra para. 197(43) and 197(47)); after the “operative” had concluded some of the injured inmates that remained hours without medical assistance were taken to hospitals, where several of them did not receive the medications required (supra para. 197(47)); and state authorities incurred in gross omission in the collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence: toxicological tests were not performed; evidence such as bullet cases or metal fragments was not collected; fingerprints or the deceased’s clothes were not collected (supra para. 187); the autopsy protocols and the expert forensic ballistic reports carried out on the dead inmates were incomplete; the weapons seized in the “operative” were not preserved, nor were the
