3 detention imposed on María Elena Loayza-Tamayo on April 9, 1996 and return her to Pavilion 'A' ... ." 5. That the Government maintained in its response that pursuant to Decree Law 25475, María Elena Loayza-Tamayo, sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment "for the crime of terrorism against the State", must complete her sentence "at a maximum security prison in continuous solitary confinement during the first year of her detention, to be followed by compulsory labor for the remainder of her term until she is released." The Government further declares that "[t]he Honorable Commission's allegations ... that the conditions in which María Elena Loayza-Tamayo is being detained have deteriorated are false." 6. That the Government also points out in its report of June 24, 1996 that María Elena Loayza-Tamayo is regularly visited by her next of kin and attorneys as stipulated in the legislation in force in Perú, and that claims that she is being held in a different (smaller) cell from those inhabited by other prisoners are false ... [and] that there is no danger to her physical, psychological or moral integrity ... 7. That the Court has examined the circumstances and facts that informed the Order of the President of the Court of June 12, 1996, and finds it to be consistent with the law and with the merits of the proceedings. 8. That the Commission's declaration, contained in its May 30, 1996 petition for provisional measures, to the effect that María Elena Loayza-Tamayo has been "confined in a tiny cell for twenty-three and a half (23.5) hours a day for one year" has not been refuted by the Government. 9. That from the reports submitted by the parties, the Court finds it difficult to determine the precise circumstances of the prison regime applied to María Elena Loayza-Tamayo. It therefore considers it is necessary to uphold the measures taken by the President, the purpose of which is to preserve her physical, psychological and moral integrity. NOW, THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, pursuant to Article 63(2) of the American Convention of Human Rights and in exercise of the authority conferred on it by Articles 24 and 45 of the Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To ratify the Order of the President of the Inter-American Court of June 12, 1996. 2. To call once more upon the Government of the Republic of Perú to take, on behalf of Ms. María Elena Loayza-Tamayo, all provisional measures necessary for the effective safeguard of her physical, psychological and moral integrity.
