Army Officer Convicted in Accomarca Case Reportedly not Jailed

This document relates evidence that Captain Telmo Hurtado, who had been convicted in the 1985 Accomarca Massacre, is still on active duty and not in prison. The Embassy comments that if the information is true, it would negate any positive results from the initial conviction and seriously call into question the Peruvian government’s commitment “to address military impunity in human rights cases in the future.”
