11 something on the radio, to which the sergeant answered: “afirmativo con la orden” [affirmative to the order]. The drivers, such as he was, were not allowed to operate the radio, and therefore they did not know the codes. The witness could only recognize the simple codes that were used daily. Captain Santoyo Castro proposed to Sergeant Antezano Santillán that they meet at Gambeta, and Sergeant Canales also arrived there. Then, Captain Santoyo Castro approached the witness and told him to calm down, that the dead were “terrucos” or terrorists and that they would talk later. After that, they went to the hospital following Captain Santoyo Castro’s patrol car for him to “clean” the zone to avoid journalists or television cameras. When they arrived at the hospital, they took the corpses in and then the Captain ordered them to go to the patrol car station. At the patrol car station there was a meeting between Captain Santoyo Castro, major Quirós Chávez, Sergeant Antezano Santillán and Mr. Cornejo Zapata, to prepare the police report. Afterwards, Sergeant Antezano Santillán instructed the witness, under orders by Captain Santoyo Castro, to say that what happened was a confrontation, and that, as a result of an attack, the detainees had died at that place. Captain Santoyo Castro and major Quirós Chávez told the witness that if he gave this account, nothing would happen, since he had been the driver of the patrol car and that after 15 days everything would continue as before, because the case would be heard under military jurisdiction. The witness is currently a taxi driver and he earns on average US$5 (five United States dollars) daily. Due to this, it is difficult for him to support his family, and it would therefore be impossible for him to pay the civil reparations ordered in favor of the Gómez Paquiyauri family by the domestic courts, and he has paid none of it as yet. The witness added that he was intimidated and pressured by persons sent by Santoyo Castro to uphold the false accounts of the facts. At the penitentiary where he was detained he suffered constant threats against his life and his physical safety. Once, a sergeant told him that he was collecting money to pay the attorneys’ fees, as a voluntary act. After having told the true account of the facts, the doors were closed for him to continue working. In his work as a taxi driver he has also suffered various incidents in connection with his participation in the facts, and for having said what happened they called him a “soplón”. The witness pointed out that at the time of the facts Peru, and specifically the province of El Callao, was in a state of emergency. b. Testimony of Lucy Rosa Gómez Paquiyauri, sister of the alleged victims The witness is the sister of Rafael Samuel and Emilio Moisés Gómez Paquiyauri, and she was 15 years old at the time of the facts. On June 21, 1991 she was getting ready for breakfast with her brothers when they heard shots on the street. As they usually did, Rafael and Emilio went to the diner where their mother worked “to pick up the food from [their] mother´s work to cover the lunch for the days when they d[id] not have it.” Just five minutes had passed since
