50 She stated that she was not aware that there was an open process in Peru regarding the facts of this case. She asked the Inter-American Court to rectify the miscarriage of justice and to punish those responsible for the facts. b) Proposed by the common intervener: 3. Luis Ángel Pérez Zapata, alleged victim He explained a map of the Miguel Castro Castro Prison, referring to its structure, the location of the pavilions 1A and 4B, and some places mentioned in the statements. He indicated that the criminal center had a wall of between 6 and 8 meters in height, made of brick and cement. The inside part of the criminal center is what is known as “no man’s land”. In the area known as the “roundhouse”, which is the central area of the criminal center, there are some underground passages through which the pavilions communicated. Due to the overcrowding in pavilion 4B, some inmates were allowed to sleep at night in pavilion 1A. In pavilion 4B there were more than 400 people, despite that it was a pavilion with a capacity for 90. On the first day of the events the witness was in pavilion 1A. After the coup d’état of April 5, 1992 the militarization of the Criminal Center Castro Castro began. During the coup d’état rights and liberties were restricted, “even habeas corpus were ignored.” At 4:30 hours of May 6, 1992 the explosions by “combined troops” of the Army and the Police started.

They also used “artillery helicopters” to fire missiles against the pavilion. The witness expresses that “[t]he situation quickly led you to believe that they were going to be crushed under the rubble of that pavilion.” “Being under this bombing is like being in hell” because there is tear gas that do not let you breathe, the explosions shake the pavilion, you can hear the bursts of machine-gun fire, and you think “here they are going to […] kill us all.” Additionally, they were without electricity, water, or food. According to what they later told him, during the attacks, the inmates that were in the criminal center for common crimes were taken to the courtyard where they remained together in the middle and guarded. On the fourth day of the attacks the inmates decided to leave pavilion 4B because they thought that it was going to be “crushed as [had] occurred in 1A” and they could no longer take the situation. A group of inmates asked through screams that the shooting stop because they were going to come out, but they were executed. The witness exited pavilion 4B, he walked by “the roundhouse” and reached the “entrance door”, from where he could see that “there were […] hundreds of troops combined with war weapons,” and that on the hills there were soldiers with weapons. When he was walking he saw that “in front [of him] there was a machinegun with
