V
URGENT AND PROVISIONAL MEASURES
32.
On April 3, 2000, pursuant to the provisions of Article 63(2) of the American
Convention and Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, Delia Revoredo Marsano
requested the Court to adopt provisional measures in favor of herself and her
husband, Jaime Mur Campoverde. To justify her request, she informed the Court
that:
a.
During the proceeding she heard as a member of her country’s
Constitutional Court to examine the action on the unconstitutionality of a law
interpreting the Constitution of the State that would allow the incumbent
President of Peru to be a candidate for a third consecutive presidential
mandate, three of the seven acting justices, who maintained that the
“interpretation law” was unconstitutional were dismissed and suffered “many
kinds of intimidation: bribes, threats, harassment.”
b.
As she herself could not be prosecuted or convicted owing to her
constitutional immunity, the attacks focused on her husband, and a
proceeding for the alleged contraband of a vehicle, which had been filed was
reopened.
During this period, their property was attacked and their
telephones intercepted, and there was also interference in her husband’s
business activities.
c.
Following her dismissal as a justice of the Constitutional Court, she
was appointed Dean of the Lima Bar Association and President of the Board
of Deans of the Peru Bar Associations and was commissioned by civil society
organizations to submit a petition to the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights concerning the interference of the Executive in the
constitutional functions of other State organs. As a result, she was told that
her husband would be convicted “and that he would be arrested” and, she
therefore went into exile with him.
d.
Following declarations by the President of Peru in which he referred
negatively to the honor of the Murs, they decided to give up their exile and
return to Peru.
e.
As a result of a recent public statement signed by her and other
citizens in order to form a Front for the Defense of Democracy, the following
events occurred: a criminal proceeding was reopened with the intention of
preventing her from leaving the country, she was required to pay a surety of
20,000 soles and the public registry offices were requested to provide a list of
her property so that it could be embargoed; moreover, one of her husband’s
companies lost an arbitration proceeding; both the latter and the appeals
that were filed were processed irregularly in order to prejudice them.
f.
All these acts against her had a twofold purpose: on the one hand, to
deprive her of her freedom and her property, and, on the other, to prevent
