MRTA - Letter From MRTA Political Prisoners November 1996

Letter From MRTA Political Prisoners
November 1996

To The International Public,
To All Human Rights Organizations:

We are imprisoned in Miguel Castro Castro Prison, and we would
like to make the following known to you on behalf of those people
accused or sentenced for membership in the MRTA:

1. The prison guidelines for prisoners sentenced on terrorism
charges (Law #25475) have been in place for four years now. In this
prison alone, three prisoners have died (from tuberculosis, AIDS,
and cancer). Dozens more prisoners are infected with tuberculosis
and more than 80% of all prisoners suffer from digestive disorders
or liver problems. A majority of prisoners now have vision
problems and several cases of mental illness have been reported.

Malnutrition and inhumane prison conditions are leading to the
destruction of the prisoners. These prison conditions are violations
of our fundamental rights: Restrictions include a ban on receiving
information from the outside to a ban on contact visits with our
children, wives, parents, and other family members.

2. The "grouping policies" according to which the prisoners are
housed, as well as the fact that we are randomly mixed with other
prisoners has, for example, led to conflicts with prisoners from
Sendero Luminoso. This has made life in common cells and the use
of common facilities impossible, as well as other forms of
coexistence.

We demand an immediate regroupment.

We have written several appeals for a regroupment of MRTA
prisoners, even to ministerial commissions. They have stated that
they would solve this problem, but so far nothing has been done.

With revolutionary greetings,

Carlos Aquino A., delegate from pavilion 2A
Emilio Villalobos A., delegate from pavilion 3A
Juan Leon M., delegate from pavilion 2B
Edison Loayza A., delegate from pavilion 3B

Lima, November 1996

This letter was sent to the German newspaper junge Welt
