Antauro Humal case
After Antauro Humal’s release, various voices spoke out against Inpe’s administrative procedure, which made his release possible. One of them was Congressman Anderson, who announced that he would introduce the bill.
INPE releases Antauro Humala in a clear sign of the contempt that this government calls to the life and honor of the policemen who give their lives for the country (…). Next Tuesday or Wednesday, I will introduce the LP to prevent those convicted of murder or rape from running for President or Vice President of Peru,” he wrote in an email. Twitter.
Recall that on August 20, Humala was released after 17 years in the Ancon II prison.

In this regard, President Inpe Omar Mendez told the Congressional Justice Commission the day before that the aforementioned release may be “an unpopular decision”; At the same time, he stressed that the parameters established by the law were observed.
“In the case of Mr. Humala Tasso, being convicted of the crime of kidnapping, Law 28060 applies, which expressly states that the penalty in his case must be paid off in the amount of 7×1. That is, seven days of work is the day of atonement, or seven days of study is the day of atonement. I want to note that this modality is the least beneficial, because there are 2×1, 3×1, 4×1 to 6×1,” he said.
