Recusation of members of the Superior Court of Ayacucho

The relatives of the journalists murdered in Uchuraccay recused all the members of the chamber of the Superior Court of Ayacucho during the judicial process. This recusal occurred after the last hearing of the oral trial held on July 24, 1985. The recusal was part of the multiple irregularities and tensions that characterized the judicial process, which had begun in September 1984 in Ayacucho. Subsequently, on September 12, 1985, the request to transfer jurisdiction of the trial to Lima was declared well-founded, and on November 25 of the same year, the Eighth Correctional Court of Lima was designated to take over the continuation of the trial.
