Lawyer Gregory Parco filed a corrective habeas corpus requesting the immediate release of the former dictator Alberto Fujimoriwho is serving a 25-year prison sentence in the Barbadillo prison for being the indirect author of the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta massacres.
Parco requires the Judiciary to order Fujimori’s release so that he can be treated at the home of one of his relatives, and so that “he undergoes surgery with the utmost urgency.”
According to the lawsuit, article 33, paragraph 20, of the New Constitutional Procedure Code, which establishes that a habeas corpus must be declared founded in the event of acts that threaten or violate “the right of the detainee or inmate not to be subjected to a treatment that lacks reasonableness and proportionality, with respect to the form and conditions in which the arrest warrant or sentence is served.”

Gregorio Parco includes the head of state and the president of Parliament in the process since, as he stated in dialogue with La República, they support the decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the request for precautionary measures requested by the victims of the massacres of Barrios Altos and La Cantuta.
“(Why are you suing Pedro Castillo and María del Carmen Alva?) Because they are supporting (the decision of) the Court of Costa Rica of not wanting to apply the sentence won (ruling of the Constitutional Court). The man (Alberto Fujimori) must be released. This is a request for corrective habeas corpus, (because) every prisoner, when he is sick, must be in the clinic or in his house. It is a very simple demand,” he stated.
