Presunta detención preventiva de un grupo de campesinos. Según la información
recibida, 13 campesinos, seis de ellos en huelga de hambre, se encuentran
detenidos desde el 15 de junio de 2012 en la Penitenciaría de Coronel Oviedo: Sra.
Lucía Aguëro Romero, Sr. Felipe Nery Urbina Gamarra, Sr. Luis Olmedo Paredes,
Sr. Arnaldo Quintana, Sr. Alcides Ramírez Paniagua, Sr. Juan Carlos Tillería, Sr.
Felipe Benítez Balmori, Sr. Adalberto Castro, Sr. Néstor Castro, Sra. María Fanny
Olmedo, Sra. Dolores López Peralta, Sr. Arnaldo Quintana, y un menor de edad.
Habrían sido acusados, entre otros, de la comisión de los delitos de homicidio
doloso; homicidio doloso en grado de tentativa; asociación criminal y coacción
grave. La resolución judicial que ordenó la medida cautelar de detención no estuvo
motivada y carece de fundamentos legales y fácticos. El proceso judicial penal
contra estas personas se encuentra prácticamente paralizado y presentaría una serie
de omisiones y contradicciones. Estas personas habrían sido golpeadas y fueron
objeto de malos tratos luego de su detención y algunas incluso habrían sido
torturadas.

Allegations of complicity in torture. According to the information received, Mr.
Shaker Aamer was captured by Northern Alliance forces in Kabul in December
2001 and held there in an underground prison while Kabul was under joint US and
UK control. Around 25 December 2001, he was reportedly transferred from the
Kabul prison to the Bagram Airforce Base by US forces. In January 2002, he was
reportedly transferred with a US aircraft to Kandahar Airforce Base in Afghanistan
under US control. UK officials were reportedly present at the detention facilities at
both Bagram and Kandahar, where he received inhuman treatment. He was
allegedly tortured during interrogations during which UK officials were present.
Personal information allegedly provided by the UK was used by the US
interrogators. On 13 February 2002, he was reportedly rendered to Guantanamo
Bay. In November 2004, he was declared an enemy combatant. Although he has
reportedly been cleared for release from Guantanamo Bay since 2007, he still
remained detained at that facility.
