be left without any means to defend those interest and to exercise our legitimate right of
defense. WE THEREFORE REQUEST THAT WE BE INCLUDED AS NECESSARY JOINT LITIGANTS IN
THE PRESENT CASE, pursuant to Article 93 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a secondary source of
law in proceedings of this type.
7. (…) it is imperative that the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE’S PUBLIC PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE AND THE
OFFICE OF THE SUPRANATIONAL PROSECUTOR be added as NECESSARY JOINT LITIGANT as they
have a legitimate interest in presenting our side and exercising our unconditional RIGHT OF
DEFENSE recognized in Article 139(14) of our 1993 Constitution, as it is self evident that if the
arrest warrant is changed to an order for Mr. Wong Ho Wing’s release, it could, given the risk of
flight, render moot or illusory both his eventual extradition and the administration of justice in
66
the requesting State, which in this case is the People’s Republic of China. (…).”
118. On September 27, 2010, the representative of the People’s Republic of China, Moisés
Aguirre Lucero, filed a brief with the Supreme Court’s Permanent Chamber in which he requested the
“ABSOLUTE NULLITY OF ALL SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE,” on the grounds that the Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction to issue
any pronouncement on a subject unrelated to the Extradition Process, such as the request to change the
order for provisional arrest to an order for release.67
119. On September 10, 2010, Judges César San Martín Castro, Pedro Saldarriaga and Príncipe
Trujillo, justices on the Supreme Court’s Permanent Criminal Chamber, voted in favor of the provisional
release requested by Mr. Wong Ho Wing. On the other hand, Messrs. José Luis Lecaros Cornejo, Jorge
Bayardo Calderón Castillo and Santa María Morillo voted to declare the request for provisional release
to be out of order. Given the tie among the members of the Supreme Court, on October 13, 2010 Mr.
José Antonio Neyra Flores cast his vote, joining Messrs. Lecaros Cornejo, Calderón Castillo and Santa
María Morillo in declaring the request seeking Mr. Wong Ho Wing’s provisional release to be out of
order. On October 19, 2010, the Permanent Criminal Chamber issued an order, the pertinent parts of
which read as follows:
(…) In the incidental proceedings conducted in the case concerning Mr. Wong Ho Wing’s passive
extradition, the justice who cast the deciding vote, Dr. Neyra Flores, has performed that function;
he has joined Supreme Court Justices Lecaros Cornejo, Calderón Castillo and Santa María Morillo
in voting to declare that the provisional release requested by extraditurus Wong Ho Wing is out
68
of order (…).
120. On September 28, 2010, Mr. Luis Lamas filed a brief with the Office of the Chair of the
Ministry of Justice’s Official Commission on Extraditions and Convict Transfers, in which he requested a
copy of report No. 066-2010/COE-TC, dated July 9, 2009, which was part of the case file on passive
extradition No. 03-2009 against Wong Ho Wing.69 Then, on September 29, 2009, the Ministry of
Justice’s Office of the National Director of Justice sent report No. 34-2010-DNJ/DICAJ, issued that same
