23. The petitioner adds that during her detainment she was forced to remain against the cement wall without speaking or moving, and that she was denied food and water. She claims that along with the other detainees, which, from what she could deduce were a great number, she was arbitrarily deprived of access to a bathroom and was forced to urinate in her clothes, into a can, while blindfolded and in the presence of male officers. 24. The petitioner indicates that at night she was transferred to another building in which she was ordered to stand up facing the wall for the whole night, and was beaten with sticks on her legs whenever they gave way, as well as being hit in the face. She states that they irritated her eyes with a dirty, dusty cloth, threatened her with torture and with her own death and that of a close relative who was arrested at the same time as the petitioner. 25. The petitioner states that at about 12:00 PM on April 15, 1992, two days after her arrest she was searched while in custody by DINCOTE officers, and that up until that time she had been forced to remain awake, blindfolded, and handcuffed for approximately 40 hours without food, water, or access to a bathroom. 26. The petitioner states that she remained in DINCOTE for the following two weeks in a damp cell shared by two other women measuring approximately 2.5m by 2.5m, completely unfurnished except for a dirty mattress on the floor. She alleges that the bathroom they had access to consisted of a cockroach-infested hole in the floor which, having no door, was in plain view of both the police and detainees. 27. The petitioner alleges that on April 23, 1992, she was introduced to the media through a press conference at which the Interior Minister announced that she was a high-ranking member of Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), with no consideration for the fact that she had not been tried or found guilty and furthermore, that she was prevented from responding to those accusations. 28. The petitioner states that she was interrogated several times during her detention at DINCOTE and, with the exception of one occasion, said interrogations took place without the presence of her lawyer and with no representative from the public prosecutor’s office (Ministerio Publico), contrary to the provisions of the law. 29. She states that seventeen days after her arrest, on April 30, 1992, she was brought before the trial judge of the Tenth Court, whose responsibility it was to establish whether there was sufficient evidence to justify her prosecution. The petitioner alleges that some weeks before this date, on April 5, 1992, the then-President Alberto Fujimori had suspended constitutional guarantees, dissolved Congress, and issued decrees removing magistrates from the Judiciary, and replacing them with ad hoc judges elected by the Executive or those beholden to it. She alleges that her case was officially opened on April 28, 1992, before the ad hoc judge had been informed, and she was ordered to remain under arrest. The petitioner alleges that she was only brought before the ad hoc judge on one occasion and that no investigation was carried out into her case, the only information that taken into account for the judge’s finding being the information contained in the police report. 30. The petitioner states that after being detained for seventeen days in DINCOTE, on April 30, 1992, she was transported to the Miguel Castro y Castro prison in Canto Grande, where she was imprisoned in Pavilion 1A with people who had already been sentenced and was forced to sleep on the floor due to overcrowding. The petitioner alleges that during that time she received no information regarding the progress of her case. She additionally claims that seventeen days after her arrest police officers issued a report describing the circumstances of her arrest. This allegedly formed the basis of the ad hoc judge’s later sentence, No. 118-92, which was undated. 31. Furthermore, she states that on January 8, 1993, the prosecutor responsible for cases dealing with terrorism brought formal charges against her and requested a minimum prison 4
