28 According to these decisions, the Provincial Prosecutor and the Superior Prosecutor deemed that “The events in which applicant A1J054967 participated constitute acts of collaboration provided for and punishable under Article 4 of Decree Law 25,475”. However, they do not indicate precisely which of the acts contemplated in that article 89 Mr. Galindo was alleged to have committed. The Commission observes that to undertaken the legal defense of “terrorist criminals” is not listed as an act of collaboration under the article in question. Place of detention and its duration 123. As for the length of time and place where the alleged victim was deprived of his liberty, here again the Commission notes the contradictions between the State’s version and the petitioner’s version. Whereas the petitioner states that Mr. Galindo was held at the Yanac military base for 31 days, the State contends that in the instant case, there is no proof that Mr. Galindo was held at a military base. It argues that Mr. Galindo’s meeting with the Attorney General was held at the military base for security reasons, given the toubles in the area. It alleges that because Mr. Galindo, of his free will, turned himself in to the police authorities, specifically the Office of the Chief of Counter-Terrorism (JECOTE) in the city of Huánuco, and not the military authorities, Mr. Galindo would have allegedly remained in custody at the specialized police unit. 124. The Commission observes that under Article 12(a) of Decree 25475, “In those places where the Peruvian National Police does not have facilities, the Armed Forces shall apprehend and detain persons implicated in these crimes and shall immediately turn them over to the nearest police department for the appropriate investigations.” The Commission notes that the State admits that the city of Huánuco had a specialized police department. 125. In this connection the Commission observes that the State has not reported whether any reply was ever given to the October 17, 1994 request from the PNP Major who was Chief of DECOTE-Hco. that he be given custody of Mr. Galindo Cárdenas, who was then in the custody of the colonel who was commander of the Yánac Counter-Subversive Base. It also observes that on November 2, 1994, DECOTE informed the Prosecutor’s Office that Mr. Galindo was in “special quarters for security reasons,” although it did not specify precisely where he was being held. With Memorandum No. 1186-DECOTE PNP Hco, dated October 17, 1994, the PNP Major who was Chief of DECOTE Hco. asks the Peruvian Army Colonel in command of Counter-Subversive Base No. 314 Yánac to give him custody of Abner Chávez Leandro and Luís Galindo Cárdenas, on the grounds that both individuals had asked to apply for the benefits of the Repentance Law. 89 Article 4.- Collaboration with terrorism.
