Judiciary closes Bustíos murder trial after plea of res judicata
The members of the military prosecuted for the murder of Hugo Bustíos filed a plea of res judicata in the common jurisdiction, which was declared founded by the Judicial Power, thus archiving the process. This decision exemplifies how the military justice system acted to guarantee impunity for members of the Armed Forces responsible for human rights violations.
