At the insistence of President of Congress, Fernando Rospigliosito pressure the magistrates of the Third Temporary Superior Criminal Liquidation Chamber to archive the process against soldiers accused of the massacre of more than 30 residents of Cayara, in Ayacuchothe victims’ relatives reported it to the Public Ministry.
In the complaint, they accuse him of the crime of violence against authority for trying to prevent, through intimidation, the judges from using the constitutional power to “exercise diffuse control and not apply the norm” in that case, which would transgress the Constitution and its obligation “of conventional control established by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.”

The complaint, to which La República had access, recounts the occasions on which Rospligliosi tries to intimidate the magistrates into shelving the cases of crimes against humanity committed before July 2001 by invoking the ruling of the Constitutional Court, such as the article published in the newspaper Expreso, describing that judges Máximo Maguiña, Helbert Llerena and Reli Callata have “terrible records.”
“If these magistrates do not comply with the law, they must be immediately reported to the National Board of Justice, the OCMA and criminally, because they are committing a crime,” maintains the Fujimori congressman.
In addition, statements are presented in which the President of Parliament demands that international law not be taken into account because national standards are above international conventions, describing as “prevaricators” the judges who do not apply the law and do not close cases of serious violations of human rights.
