36 Investigations and proceedings 80(19) Regarding the events in the instant case, petitions of habeas corpus were filed for the detained persons. Besides, two criminal investigations were originally initiated before the ordinary courts, and other two were commenced before the military courts. All these investigations were conducted simultaneously up to the transfer of both cases to the military courts in the month of February 1994. Besides, within the so-called “Congreso Constituyente Democrático” (Democratic Constituent Congress), an investigation committee was created to carry out the investigation; this committee issued a report for the majority and other for the minority. Afterwards, with the fall of former President Alberto Fujimori, it was necessary to initiate new investigations before the ordinary criminal courts.

This petition was dismissed on August 5, 1992, upon receiving the testimony of Luis Salazar-Monroe, Chief of the Second Military Region, whereby he denied to have ordered or to have learnt of any military operation carried out at La Cantuta University on the date of the events analyzed in the instant case.
