#Peru esta semana:
📍El gobierno de Dina Boluarte retira la candidatura de @JulissaMantill6 ante la @CIDH
📍La @CIDH anuncia presentación del informe sobre violaciones a #DDHH durante el gob. de Boluarte
📍Gob. de Boluarte firma un contrato jugoso con una firma de lobby en EEUU
Julissa Mantilla, quien durante el último año se desempeño como presidenta de la @CIDH, se enteró por las redes que el Estado de #Peru decidió retirar su candidatura para continuar en el cargo.
.@PanelSIDH, el panel de expertos independientes que está haciendo un seguimiento del proceso de selección de comisionados a la @CIDH, ha mostrado su preocupación ante tal decisión:
La @CIDH anunció hoy la conferencia de prensa mañana a las 8:00 am donde presentará el informe de su visita in loco al Perú, sobre graves violaciones a los #DDHH cometidos entre dic. de 2022 y enero de 2023, los 2 primeros meses del gobierno de Boluarte
.@APjoshgoodman, un periodista de @AP, reportó hoy sobre el jugoso contrato de lobby que firmó el gobierno de Boluarte con la firma de relaciones públicas @PatriotStrat de $40K POR MES, básicamente para lavarle la cara ante la comunidad internacional.
Osea: el gobierno de Boluarte, utilizando los impuestos de los y las peruanos, está pagando una firma de EEUU para limpiar su imagen en el exterior luego de informes de @hrw @amnesty @CIDH y @UNHumanRights señalando su responsabilidad en graves violaciones a los derechos humanos.

La masacre de Xaman de oct 1995 es conocida como la última masacre del conflicto armado interno de #Guatemala. Hoy comienza el juicio oral y público contra uno de los miembros de la tropa que capturado en mayo de 2021. Hace dos días capturaron a tres otros prófugos en el caso.
El 31 de mayo de 2021, el exmilitar Julio César Armando López Rodríguez, fue capturado. Estuvo prófugo de la justicia durante más de dos décadas. Es uno varios acusados de la masacre contra miembros de la comunidad "Aurora 8 de octubre", en la Finca Xamán, Chisec, Alta Verapaz.
La comunidad "Aurora 8 de octubre" se estableció como parte de un proceso formal que permitía la repatriación de personas que habían huido de #Guatemala debido a las políticas de "tierra arrasada" contra la insurgencia que predominaron entre 1978 y 1985.

More bad news from #Guatemala. Attorney General Consuelo Porras is transferring Hilda Pineda, who has successfully led the Human Rights Prosecutor's Office of the @MPguatemala for several years, bringing complex war-time cases to trial, to another unit. Thread.
I met Pineda in 2012 when she was an assistant prosecutor working on the Maya Ixil genocide case against former dictator of Guatemala, Efraín Ríos Montt, under then Attorney General @ClaudiaPazyPaz.
She was young and bright, and quickly ascended to become the head of the unit investigating conflict-era cases. She prosecuted the landmark Sepur Zarco sexual violence, winning a conviction against two military officials for heinous crimes against K'ekqhi women during the war.

🔴#Peru A slow-motion coup is underway in Peru. 🧵
A member of JNE, the elections board, has resigned tho he legally cannot do so, preventing the JNE from having a quorum. This bad faith procedural maneuver is intended to prevent Pedro Castillo from being formally proclaimed the winner of the June 6 presidential elections .
If no president is proclaimed by July 28, the head of the congress will be sworn in as interim president on July 28, and presumably would convene new elections.

Cientos de militares en retiro firmaron esta carta dirigida a los jefes del @CCFFAAPERU afirmar la gran mentira de #KeikoFujimori que hubo fraude y llamándolos a intervenir para prevenir que asuma un presidente “usurpador”. MUY grave cc @SecBlinken @IDL_R @ocram @Angelpaezs
Esta carta me llegó por dos fuentes distintas, una de mis fuentes asegura que uno de los firmantes es amigo de la familia, y que confirma que la carta fue enviado al Comando Conjunto el día de hoy. Sigo con los demás firmas.

By my count, in the context of #Peru's 2nd round elections, this is 3rd Ministry of Defense communique clarifying the non deliberative nature of the military. This statement denounces the use of official military insignia by former officials who served under #Fujimori in 90s.
Those ex military officials are pushing the narrative of #KeikoFujimori that the second-round vote was fraudulent. No evidence of fraud has been found, by int'l observers or by #Peru elections officials.
After statement was released, Jorge Montoya, one of the former military officials who signed it—and who is the second-most voted member of the 2021-2026 Congress—called for nullifying the elections, dissolving election authorities, and convening new elections. #Peru Image

Two-time president of #Peru Alan Garcia was about to be arrested as part of a preliminary investigation into corruption when he locked himself in a room and shot himself. All of Peru’s ex presidents are in jail or under investigation for corruption. larepublica.pe/politica/14513…
García, who is 69, is under investigation in Peru over allegations of bribery tied to the sweeping Odebrecht corruption scandal. He has carefully evaded prosecution for many serious accusations of corruption during both presidencies (electric train, petro audios, etc).
He has also managed to avoid #Peru’s sweeping investigations into human rights violations during his first government when he gave the military a blank check to murder suspected insurgents which resulted in mass human rights violations against non-combatant civilians.
