Aníbal Torres: Executive will challenge ruling of the TC that favors Alberto Fujimori before international courts

The head of the Ministerial Cabinet, Hannibal Torresreiterated this Wednesday the 23rd that the Executive Branch will challenge the sentence of the constitutional Court (TC) that favors the former president Alberto Fujimori with the restoration of his humanitarian pardon before international instances.

At a press conference, he pointed out that events such as the massacres of Uptowns and the cantuta “they should not go unpunished”, otherwise they can repeat again. He also emphasized that the Government will act within the framework of the law.

“The TC has issued this sentence, it has to be followed. That does not mean that it will be challenged in international courts. This is our way of acting strictly subject to the legal, constitutional and conventional framework”he expressed.

In this sense, Torres Vásquez also indicated that the Peruvian State will seek to protect the fundamental rights of the relatives of both crimes within the legal framework.

“The Executive will act within the legal framework, also protecting the fundamental rights of people affected by very serious crimes, which are known to all of us, from La Cantuta, students kidnapped, tortured, burned, dismembered, clandestinely buried on the road from Lima to Cieneguilla”narrowed down

“I ask: to any of us that this happens, would we like that fact to go unpunished? I think not, perhaps to some of those present yes. It’s up to each one.”he added.

As you remember, last Thursday the TC accepted the presentation of Ernest Blumewho proposed declaring the appeal well founded and thereby nullifying the annulment of the pardon in favor of Alberto Fujimori. The vote was three in favor and three against, with the vote of its president, Augustus Ferreroas a diriment in favor of habeas corpus.

In this case, said writ of habeas corpus was filed by Gregorio Parco Alarcon against the resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice, which annulled the humanitarian pardon.

On December 24, 2017, the then president Pedro Pablo Kuzcynski pardoned Fujimori Fujimori for humanitarian reasons. However, the Judiciary annulled this benefit.

It should be noted that the former president is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity. He is being held in the Barbadillo prison (Ate).
