37 The events started in the dawn of May 6, 1992 when explosions were heard in pavilion 1A, where the women were located. The inmates moved to said pavilion through the conduits to help the women. When they arrived they smelled gunpowder, they could feel a burning sensation in their throat and they could not breath. There were dead and injured people. As a consequence of the shots fired by the soldiers from the roof toward pavilion 1A Marcos Calloccunto died and Víctor Javier Olivos Peña was seriously injured. The witness was injured by a bomb, situation that was complicated by the tuberculosis that he already suffered. Jesús Villaverde was also injured during these events. During the attacks the inmates did not receive food, water, or medical attention. Some of the injured died because of the lack of attention. The State agents killed people selectively, such as Janet Talavera. After undergoing four days of attacks, the survivors were transferred to an area called “no man’s land”. They were forced to be naked and outdoors, face down on the floor, and they could not use the bathroom. Besides this, they were beaten and stepped on. The witness did not receive medical attention and remained with the same clothes for fifteen days. The tortures continued during the following months. As punishment they were forced to sing Peru’s national anthem, whose first verse says “we are free”, kerosene camphor, and rat skin were thrown into the food. They were kept locked inside 23 hours and a half per day, visits were restricted, working, singing, exercising, and developing any type of activity within the criminal center was forbidden. As a consequence of what happened in the criminal center, his emotional relationships were affected and his health worsened. The tuberculosis he already suffered from got worse, he lost his teeth, and his vision in great proportion, and he contracted allergies to humidity and developed digestive problems. His family also suffered as a consequence of the facts. His parents suffered health problems and the economic resources that were going to be for his siblings were used on him, reason for which his siblings have not been able to conclude their academic studies. b) Called upon by the adjudication of the case: 10. President as evidence to facilitate Nieves Miriam Rodríguez Peralta, alleged victim On the “days prior to May 6 there was an ‘inspection’ in which it was verified that there was no type of weapons [or] ‘Armed resistance’ to justify the crime of genocide pursuant to the Peruvian legislation against the group of prisoners of pavilions 1A and 4B accused of belonging to Peru’s Communist Party.” On May 6, 1992 she was sleeping when she heard the first explosion in the women’s pavilion and she soon realized that they were being “brutally and cowardly” attacked. She could notice that they had blown open one of the walls of pavilion 1A and the yard with dynamite and that “there were bullets, bombs, and tear gases everywhere.” Likewise, she observed that police officers were proceeding to place dynamite on the roof of the fourth floor. The inmates tried to find an exit through a conduit because “[i]t seemed that they were going to throw the pavilion down.” The conduits were not tunnels built by the inmates, but instead constructions that joined the pavilions. It was difficult to enter the conduit because you had to pass in front of a window and the snipers would shoot at the smallest movement. The inmate María
