The acts of violence were directed against said pavilions, occupied at the time of the events by inmates accused or sentenced for terrorism crimes or treason.45 197(17) The judgment issued by the National Terrorism Chamber on February 3, 2004 indicated that “there are elements that generate a reasonable suspicion in the Court, regarding the fact that on the occasion of Operative Transfer One, the physical elimination of the inmates accused of terrorism that occupied pavilions One A and four B […] was planned at the highest levels of government.” During the 7th and 12th days of May 1992 the press articles referring to the events that were occurring in the Criminal Center Castro Castro, described the visits made by the then Secretary of the Interior to the criminal center, as well as the meetings held by the Cabinet to evaluate the situation of the criminal center, and the visit made by Fujimori on May 10, 1992, to the inside of said penitentiary.46 43 Cfr.
