Pedraza explained in an interview granted to a local medium that said request is based on the fact that the court would have advanced the reading of the penalty without even counting on the official document.
“We were forced yesterday to present a habeas corpus (…) not because we want the freedom of Mr. Humala, but because there are precedents of the Constitutional Court that establish that previous sentence readings cannot translate into an execution of the conviction, since there is no written document. And those are the basic documents that the Constitution demands to affect something as fundamental as freedom. “
