36 8. Raúl Basilio Gil Orihuela, alleged victim He was detained in the Criminal Center Castro Castro in pavilion 4B, at the time of the facts. Since he did military service in Peru, where he received training on the handling of firearms and explosives, he recognized the “war weapons” used within the prison. He also recognized that elite police officers, armed forces, members of the FOES (elite group of the Marines), and sniper shooters participated, and prior to the “operative” he observed the presence of the Peruvian army dressed in uniform in pavilions 4B and its surrounding areas. One month before the events in the criminal center, pavilions 1A and 4B were inspected, since the press was saying that there were weapons within the criminal center. The result of the inspection was that there were no firearms within those pavilions. In the dawn of May 6, 1992 he heard a strong explosion that came from pavilion 1A, where the women were located. There were shots fired, bombs, and tear gas. The heat was unbearable, there were bodies of women on the floor and those that survived were asking for help. Fire bombs, which contain white phosphorous, were used and upon contact with the human body they produce a burning sensation in uncovered areas, in nasal cavities, and it causes asphyxia and chemical “burning” of internal organs and the skin. He considers that the objective was to “kill them all at once.” It was a “military attack”, “[t]here was no riot there.” The combined armed forces killed several people and from a helicopter destroyed pavilion 1A. In pavilion 4B inmate Cesar Augusto Paredes died from a gunshot to the head. On May 9, 1992 Mr. Mario Aguilar died due to the burns caused to his body. The number of people injured and dead was considerable. The inmates decided to go out screaming “do not shoot, we are coming out.” A little while later the witness heard bursts of shots fired and screams and when he went to the pavilion’s entrance, he recognized several dead bodies, among which was Deodato Hugo Juárez and Janet Talavera. Uniformed, hooded officialse took Antonio Aranda and Julia Marlene to “the kitchen”, where they were murdering inmates. The inmates that survived were placed face down on the floor with glass, under the rain, without an adequate diet, they were mistreated, beaten, stepped on, and bit by dogs. The mistreatments continued during the following months. There were inspections where they forced inmates to present themselves in the nude in the courtyards, they were tortured with electrical sticks, and they were submitted to revisions in intimate parts of their bodies. As a consequence of those treatments, he suffers from a chronicle back pain, loss of sight in his right eye, and injuries in his left arm. 9. Jesús Ángel Julcarima Antonio, alleged victim He referred to his arrest and transfer to the Criminal Center Castro Castro on November 8, 1991. His legal condition was of accused, he had not been prosecuted nor had the charges against him been formalized. After some news reports in the Peruvian media indicated that there were weapons and tunnels in the criminal center, the inmates were submitted to a detailed revision after which it was clear they did not have weapons nor were there tunnels built by the inmates in the criminal center.
