Presidential statement on those responsible for massacre in prisons

President Alan Garcia Perez made a public statement demanding sanctions for those responsible for the events that occurred in the Lima and Callao prisons during the riot of June 18, 1986. In his message, the President used a strong phrase: "Either all those responsible leave or I leave", expressing his position regarding the need to determine responsibilities for the violent events. This statement came days after the government ordered the Joint Command to have the military justice system carry out the necessary investigations to determine the scope and seriousness of the events. The presidential pronouncement was made in a context of great political and social tension, following the riot that had left multiple fatalities in the three prisons in the capital.
