The Office of the Human Rights Ombudsperson took into consideration the testimony of Ms. Marcelina Medina Negro, mother of Néstor Rojas Medina; as well as that of his aunts, Faustina Collantes Quiróz and Luzmilla Collantes Quiróz, incorporated into the database of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Ombudsperson’s Office later interviewed these persons, who confirmed their testimonies.124 a) Marcelina Medina Negrón (mother) […] she ratified her testimony as given to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee and added that her son was detained with Wilmer Vargas Collantes, who when attempting to defend him was tortured. Afterwards, the victim was taken to the Police Station of Tocache where he stayed eight days and afterwards was transferred to the Military Base of Tocache. She pointed out that Luzmilla and Faustina Collantes Quiroz (sisters in law of the declarant) said that, on the day her son was detained, he was carrying $2,000 (two thousand dollars) as a result of the payment that the former of the above-mentioned persons had made for the sale of pigs. Finally, the declarant indicated that, because of her insistence, the military personnel allowed her to enter the Military Base of Tocache, where she only saw two detainees, but not her son, Néstor Rojas Medina. b) Faustina Collantes Quiroz (aunt) […] she indicated that she learned about the victim’s detention in February 1991, from Maruja Ávila Pino. She appeared at the Military Base of Tocache, where she interviewed a military person (unidentified) who told her that the victim was detained at the military base but that he had subsequently been released. She believed the reply and, because of that, she did not look for him. c) Luzmilla Collantes Quiroz (aunt) […] she pointed out that Néstor was detained on January 26, 1991, by members of the National Police Force, and that she learned about what had happened a month later from Maruja Ávila Pino, who remarked that military troops of the Military Base of Tocache were looking for her to inform her that her nephew had been detained and that her presence was needed so that she could help him. When the declarant went to the military base, they told her that the victim had been detained for only five days and they did not know his whereabouts. In view of this, the declarant went to the Police where they refused to give her any information. 123 Annex 54. Verification Report No. 6790-20006-OD/Lima of September 6, 2006.
