officer Juan Hilaquita Quispe who had assaulted him on January 23, 2001 and had caused the injury to
his head and right eye. He told her that the former had threatened him if he reported this, which is why
he had not told the truth the first time that he went to the infirmary.27 He indicated that when Dr.
Chang reported these details to Commander Torres, he called Mr. Quispealaya and later
noncommissioned officer Hilaquita, who denied all of the allegations. They stated that Commander
Torres asked the officials in the Inspector’s Office to begin the pertinent administrative investigations.28
However, the IACHR has not been Reportd about the result of these investigations.

On July 6, 2001, Dr. Chang sent the Brigade General of Huancayo Mr. Quispealaya
Vilcapoma’s medical report, which indicated that he had received attention on June 27, 2001 as an
outpatient “because he had pain in the left front ocular region produced by the blow from an FAL dealt
by soldier Hilaquita Quispe in February of 2001,” and that the pain had increased to become unbearable
and that the sharpness of vision had diminished.29 Similarly, the medical report stated that Mr.
Quispealaya had gone to the Hospital Daniel A. Carrión on July 3, 2001, where the Specialist diagnosed
“ptisis bulbi in the right eye, ametropia in the right eye,” for which the patient was hospitalized while
arrangements were made for his evacuation to the Central Military Hospital in Lima.30

The petitioners complained to the Attorney General that given the serious state of Mr.
Quispealaya’s health, he was transferred to the Central Military Hospital in Lima, where despite
receiving surgery in his right eye, he lost vision in that eye. They stated that after the operation, Mr.
Quispealaya was assigned to the recovery ward of the Military Hospital.31 Mr. Quispealaya was
admitted to the Central Military Hospital in Lima on July 14, 2001 and was released on September 5,
2002.32 With regard to the treatment he received, it was indicated that this included “extraction of the
cataract, implantation of an intra-ocular lens and trabeculectomia in the right eye.”33
