Military Court dismisses Huancapi case
Military justice dismissed case of disappearances in Huancapi for lack of evidence
On October 10, 1994, the Supreme Council of Military Justice confirmed the resolution of July 23, 1992 of the Permanent War Council of the Second Judicial Zone of the Army that dismissed the case in Case No. 1786-91 against Sub Lieutenant Chavez and 'those responsible', considering that there was no decisive evidence to prove criminal responsibility in the events of Huancapi. This decision perpetuated the impunity of those responsible for the disappearance of seven people.
