himself. According to the petitioner, Mr. Raúl Lulleman was held in solitary confinement at other police stations; meanwhile, his younger brother Luís Lulleman Gutiérrez was presented as a substitute at the hearing on precautionary measures. The brother was freed after that hearing, and the real Raúl Lulleman continued to be prosecuted. The petitioner indicated that the night of the raid, the daughters of Mr. Oswaldo Lulleman were beaten, as well as the cleaning staff. 18. The petitioner added that at the home of Francis Pimentela Merino, Eladio Cruz Añez, and Carlos Enrique Castro, the police burst in violently that same night, “cruelly torturing” Mr. Eladio Cruz, breaking his feet, suffocating him with a plastic bag that contained gas, kicking him everywhere, and hitting him with the butts of their rifles. He noted that Mrs. Pimentela was beaten so severely that it caused her to lose her pregnancy at three months’ gestation. The petitioner identified the person responsible for this as the Judicial Technical Police investigator Captain Gary Sánchez. 19. The petitioner indicated that all those arrested were taken to Judicial Technical Police stations, where they were again beaten brutally so that they would confess to their participation in the aforementioned robbery. According to the petitioner’s account, the women were undressed in front of police and prosecutors, and Mrs. Norma Alarcón de Valencia was beaten by a Deputy Commander of the Judicial Technical Police, who broke her nose, struck her with a gun, and broke two of her ribs, “as the police and prosecutors looked on attentively.” 20. He stated that at the offices of the Judicial Technical Police, those arrested were stripped naked and body-searched four times a day with “dirty objects and sweaty hands,” while the women had sticks and dirty fingers introduced into their vaginas. The petitioner indicated that those arrested continued to be beaten and forced to sleep on the cold floor, for the purpose of getting them to incriminate themselves and not report the theft of their belongings. According to various press accounts attached by the petitioner, those arrested were held in solitary confinement for three months. 21. The petitioner indicated that the events described were videotaped by the Intelligence Department of the National Police, which went along on the raids, and that months before the complaint was presented, the video had been broadcast by various media. He also noted that the acts of torture against the alleged victims were documented by various print media. 22. According to the petitioner, those arrested were incriminated through evidence obtained under torture. He specified that on the day of the robbery, Mr. Elacio Peña Córdoba was hit by a bullet and after being arrested was taken to installations of the Judicial Technical Police; there his wound, which had been stitched, was opened up again with a pen by the same policemen. After reopening the wound, they poured hot sauce and salt in it, getting him to incriminate himself and the others who were being detained. 23. The petitioner indicated that the abuses of the alleged victims in fact got them to incriminate themselves with regard to the events of December 14, 2001. In the words of the petitioner, “we fathers incriminated our children, children their parents, Peruvians [incriminated] Bolivians, Bolivians Peruvians, husbands wives, wives husbands, minors adults, adults minors…we were forced to change our names and recognize firearms as though they were ours.” 24. He added that the alleged victims had to give statements to the Office of the Prosecutor without having attorneys of their own choosing present, but only public defenders which in their estimation had the role more of accusers than of 4
