Scandal Law

The Amnesty Law bill emerged, in the middle of the night, from the folder of congressman Gilberto Siura. "This is the same parliamentarian who presented the disgraceful ruling on the self-kidnapping of the disappeared students of La Cantuta," noted an outraged congressman Henry Pease. In reality, the bill was prepared by the military leadership, commented an opposition parliamentarian. The bill was not on the agenda drawn up at the CCD Steering Council session on Monday night. However, the modus operandi is not new. The outgoing parliament has established the practice of turning a bill, proposed at nine in the evening, into law the following day. Published June 15, 1995.
