38 “was hearing a case related to the same facts referred to in this complaint" (infra para. 80(42)). Upon sending the case on jurisdiction to the Superior Criminal Prosecutor´s Office, on August 23, 1993, it declined jurisdiction again. The APRODEH and the next of kin of the alleged victims filed a complaint appeal against said decisions and on September 16, 1993 the Fifth Superior Criminal Prosecutor´s Office remanded the case to the Eighth Prosecutor´s Office; APRODEH moved for the nullity of said decision, but on November 30, 1993, the Fifth Prosecutor´s Office dismissed the motion and the decision whereby the prosecutor declined jurisdiction was then final and conclusive.33 80(24) On the other hand, on February 8, 1993, Jaime Oyague-Velazco reported the disappearance of his niece, Dora Oyague-Fierro, to the then President of Perú, Alberto Fujimori; to the Attorney General´s Office of the Nation, on February 9, 1993; to the President of the Committee on Human Rights of the Constituent Democratic Congress, on March 4, 1993 and to the Chairman of Congress, on April 12, 1993.34 The precise outcome of said actions are unknown.

When leaving the Congress, General Hermoza-Ríos said to the press that the Congressmen of the opposition were acting “in collusion with the terrorists” and also accused them of participating in “the orchestration of a well-thought and planned campaign to impair the prestige and honor of the Peruvian Army.” 80(28) The day following the date when General Hermoza-Ríos gave testimony, the Peruvian Army issued an official communication whereby it stated its adherence and support 33 Cf.
