President of the judiciary: demonstrations affected 6 high courts across the country

President of the Judiciary, Javier Arevalo, reported that 6 high courts (Puno, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Apurimac, Arequipa and Puno) were damaged as a result of nationwide demonstrations. According to him, an inventory of the lost material is being conducted; however, he regrets that many of them are family courts.

“I think that these attacks can actually have two origins: elements that seek to cause havoc, and also someone who seeks to destroy the forensic files, because in the course of these (attacks) the forensic files were burned, but the most serious what those who are most burned are the humble people from the food trials,” said the magistrate.

“Attacks on Public service They can make you think that some kind of organized crime is behind all of this, as is the case with illegal mining, drug trafficking, even the possibility of terrorism, because there is no point in attacking these headquarters, destroying them and burning records. Litigation is paralyzed and there are people who might be interested in it,” he added.

In an interview with RPP News, Arevalo Vela expressed his concern about the violent actions through which part of the population expresses its position. He also recalled that this Friday he would meet with representatives Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) to whom he will talk about the situation of violence affecting the country.

“There are people who died, there are lives that need to be mourned. Perhaps many of these dead people were just protesting, but we also need to see that there were people in these demonstrations who saw how they were going to tear down the walls of the airport and how they attacked our premises. These characters who did this cannot be real Protestants,” he said.
