TO 20 YEARS OF MURDER
At the age of 53 years, at the height intellectual Cerrón Jaime was kidnapped, viciously tortured and murdered by a paramilitary commando in the first APRA government. For crimes like that, the UNCP, is considered by human rights organizations as an emblem of the university massacres in Latin America.
In the 1980 and 1990, the central area of \u200b\u200bPeru is characterized by being besieged between two fires: the subversive terrorism and state terrorism. On June 8, 1990, in circumstances that Jaime Cerrón addressed his work rector, led by the driver Armando Tapia, at 7 in the morning were stopped half a block from his home by military-looking elements acting two foot and the rest in a truck. Those who were on foot approached the van belonging to the UNCP and forced Cerrón down, just as the driver, introducing both the car violently to the kidnappers, who disappeared at high speed to an unknown destination.
The criminal event affected the national and international public opinion. A Mexico City newspaper wrote in its edition of June 24, 1990, "the police mistakenly believe they are eliminated the ideological focus of subversion ... Cerron was a brilliant professor of Philosophy and Social Sciences, quiet, progressive ideas, but avocado entirely to his academic career . Academic excellence was a Rector of the said university faculty, Dr. Rodolfo Vizcardo. "
felt Facing the disappearance, the community and especially university huancaína announced a demonstration for June 18, 1990. In desperation to prevent this act, the government told a reporter finding two bodies in the town of Sincos, in a place called Tierra Blanca, province of Cockaigne.
In photographs taken of the corpse, the Vice Chancellor severed foot appears and impacts of nine shots, two of which were in the head. The bodies were taken to Huancayo, being veiled in the Palacio Municipal and buried on June 20 amid a sea of \u200b\u200bhumanity.
killed by the government
When journalists questioned about who might be the perpetrator, the unanimous response of the people of Huancayo could not be other than the government Alan García. Have supported this assertion by the family of the rector began to be subjected to threats by the repressive forces, whereas a well-known newspaper headline put in Huancayo, "rector's widow Threaten ... Quieting the elucidation of the crime."
The UNCP denounced the crime, through its legal representative, to the Prosecutor's Office and the Public Ministry, reporting which failed under pressure from the military and the cowardice of the judiciary. The crime remains today, after 20 years in total impunity.
Extortion
The murderers they urged the family to deliver the sum of 20 million intis, to liberate the kidnapped, but could muster only 18. The money was awarded on June 12, 1990 by the wife of Vice Chancellor for Jose Lucena Torres Jara transport agency. Lucent said it was for Mr. Castro, who was a soldier in Ayacucho and cousin of Mr. Santiago Jara (owner of the company) and signed a receipt attesting to the proceedings. Years later, the case was reported to the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but the prosecution never had the interest in apprehending the perpetrators of this murder or cite Lucene Torres.
The University Assembly of September 27, 1990, declared historical by its chairman and president Rodolfo Vizcardo agreed to name the UNCP Cerrón Jaime Palomino. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Bullón Ames made a presentation on the academic work of Professor Cerrón and highlighted his qualities, recalled of her life and her status as a social activist, and all remembered him as an example of professional and quality human, and requested that the idea of \u200b\u200bThird Student is accepted by the assembly to perpetuate his name. Once the foundations and considering the briefs filed, the Assembly agreed to the proposed University. But political pressure and threats to the university authorities, so far frustrated the implementation of that agreement.
Cerrón Jaime's crime was not an isolated case, was part of a state policy implemented in the first APRA government, through its paramilitary groups (Scorpius and Rodrigo Franco). So we can remember the killings of teachers Herminio Parra Rivera on October 1, 1988; Ernesto Barriga del Barco, Luis Aguilar Roma, 18 July 1989, and Roberto Aguirre Palomino, 15 October 1990 and the kidnapping of Víctor Raúl López Yofre Olivera and washing, etc., among others.
