Assassination of Three Prisoners in Huamanga Hospital
In March 1982, members of the Guardia Republicana assassinated three wounded detainees, Roussell Wensjoe, Amilcar Urbay, and Carlos Alcántara, who were being treated at the hospital in Huamanga. This act was condemned by Mons. Metzinger, who highlighted the enormity of the crime, emphasizing that it was unacceptable to murder patients in a hospital. The incident reflects the severe human rights violations occurring during the period of political violence in Peru.
Tras la fuga de presos del penal en marzo de 1982, efectivos de la Guardia Republicana asesinaron a tres detenidos heridos: Roussell Wensjoe, Amilcar Urbay y Carlos Alcántara, quienes se encontraban internados en el hospital de Huamanga. Monseñor Metzinger declaró sobre este hecho: «para mí es tan evidente la enormidad de este crimen.... No es posible que se asesine a pacientes de un hospital». Este evento representa uno de los actos graves de violencia cometidos contra detenidos durante el estado de emergencia.
