Mr. Pacheco and family should have boarded the bus of the “El Dorado” company yesterday, Saturday, in the
direction of Tambo Quemado-Arica and, to this end, this CONGECHILE provided them with tickets with this bus
company and accommodation on the Friday night at the Rossel Hotel, located in front of the bus terminal.
-
Yesterday, when we contacted the El Dorado bus company, they informed us that citizen Pacheco and his family
had been detained on boarding the bus by the local police and immigration authorities.
-
During the afternoon we were able to contact the Chief Adviser on Migratory Affairs (in charge of the case),
Juan C. Molina, who confirmed the information, indicating that the detention occurred under a deportation
order to Peru issued by the prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service attached to the Intelligence Service,
and that Mr. Pacheco and his family had been taken in two vehicles to Desaguadero, on the border with Peru
and there they had been handed over to the Peruvian immigration authorities who received them, after
preparing the respective record, and delivered to the Peruvian police. I have been told that Pacheco has been
charged with terrorism in that country.
Molina also told us that subversive materials and propaganda had been found in one of Mr. Pacheco’s suitcases
related to Sendero Luminoso, letters addressed to Peruvian refugees who live in Bolivia, and some diskettes, all
of which were handed over to the Peruvian police. […]
3. Faced with the unprecedented action of the local Immigration Directorate failing to respect a commitment to
allow the departure of Mr. Pacheco and his family to our country, I consider that the Bolivian Government should be
informed of this delicate situation. […]127
106. The foregoing reveals that the Pacheco Tineo family was handed over to immigration and
police authorities in Peru.
