Fujimori's self-coup and dissolution of Congress
Fujimori carried out self-coup, dissolved Congress and made Barrios Altos investigations disappear
On April 5, 1992, President Alberto Fujimori, with the support of the Armed Forces and the police, dissolved the Congress of the Republic, intervened in the Judicial Power and installed an unconstitutional regime known as the 'Government of Emergency and National Reconstruction'. When the military coup perpetrators closed the Congress, important documents disappeared, including the investigations of the Barrios Altos Massacre Commission. Prosecutor Pablo Ignacio Livia Torres was separated from the Judiciary without prior notice.
