Uchuraccay trial remains open in reserve
In 2003, 20 years after the Uchuraccay massacre, the judicial process remains open in reserve in Lima. The authorities determined that the process would not be time-barred until 2013, and the arrest warrant against fourteen peasants who had not been arrested remained in force.
In January 2003, on the 20th anniversary of the Uchuraccay massacre, it was expected that a ruling would be issued on the statute of limitations. However, the judicial authorities considered that the legal period for the process to remain in reserve is 30 years, which means that the statute of limitations will not expire until a decade from now, that is, until 2013. The process remains open in the 7th Court of Proceedings in Reserve of Lima because fourteen of the seventeen defendants were never captured. The warrant for the arrest of these fourteen peasants is still in force, until they are captured, their death is certified or the case is finally prescribed.
