The National Committee for Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War
calls for solidarity of the peoples of Latin America and the world political
prisoners in Peru against
the repressive measures of political persecution and that Peru applies
particularly against the people and against political prisoners.
The situation of the 300 political prisoners is a current regression
imposed by the state. Having progresionado since 2003, they are back to take
fundamental rights, such as the redemption of it for study and work, the denial
of the benefit of conditional release, return of isolation especially the
former leaders, restricting family visits among prisoners (the denial of
conjugal visits), we mention especially the last decree regress back to the
prison regime for political prisoners by strict political reasons.
Since 2013, when they met the 25-year sentence, three prisoners have
been prevented from freedom, inventing new facts for new processes. They are:
Osman Morote fellow 70-year-old companion Margot Liendo 66 years old and the
companion Victoria Trujillo 55 years old, the three survivors of the genocide
in Canto Grande May 1992. The most serious is that This impairment of freedom
intended to extend to all prisoners the State and the reaction considered
"dangerous". We demand the freedom of our three companions. Freedom
is a right!
We reject the maneuvers stigmatizing state and government before the
Commission to delegitimize the just demands made by the prisoners against
subversion legislation whose character is the enemy criminal law against
torture in detention and violations of political prisoners, demands that have
been supported by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights after being
studied by the agency.
We denounce the isolation and solitary confinement of Dr. Abimael
Guzman Reinoso 23 years imposed on a military base as the Military Criminal
Callao Naval Base without considering his advanced age of 81 years and his
health problems, preventing the visit of friends, historians and journalists,
restricting even once a year the family gathering with his wife and claim to
annul his marriage to deepen its isolation. It is the only case in which are
being denied the most basic rights, including being illegally detained in a
military prison. We demand closure of the Military Penal Callao Naval Base!
In addition to former political prisoners they have imposed laws that
prevent them from working in public administration, however are charged civil
damages, is applied systematically monitor and is mounted sustained campaigns
of political persecution, denying them the right to freedom , opinion,
organization, political participation and even the intellectual and artistic
work. Furthermore in Congress recently they passed a law on civil death those
who had not paid civil damages which are unaffordable for exorbitant (from tens
of millions to 3,700 million soles).
In this year 2015 for extraordinary powers have enacted anti-democratic
legislative decrees such as the law of conspiracy, restricting regime penal
execution law monitoring and further modification of the electoral law includes
an express article that denies political participation to former political
prisoners.
All this is a lawless ban to exclude revolutionary society, clearly
showing its character undemocratic and contrary to the recent trend in the
region to politically solve the problems arising from an armed process as today
in Colombia
between the government and the FARC. The return of all rights of political
prisoners is a need for the democratization of Peruvian society requires.
Therefore, in this international campaign for political prisoners,
firmly we shake our slogans:
FREEDOM IS A RIGHT!
NO TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE COMPANY AND REPEAL OF LAWS PREJUDICIAL!
CLOSING OF CRIMINAL MILITARY Callao
Naval Base!
