Inter-American Commission on Disappearances in Chuschi

On April 13, 2000, the OAS Inter-American Commission on Human Rights concluded that the Peruvian State, through police officers from the district of Chuschi supported by military personnel from the Pampa Cangallo Military Base, detained Manuel Pacotaype Chaupín, Martín Cayllahua Galindo, Marcelo Cabana Tucno and Isaías Huamán Vila on March 14, 1991, and they were subsequently disappeared. The Commission determined that the State violated the rights to liberty, personal integrity, life, legal personality and effective judicial recourse. It recommended a full investigation, repeal of Laws 26479 and 26492, and reparations to the next of kin.
