Court rejects applying law on crimes against humanity and confirms sentence in murder of Peruvian journalist

"The Judiciary rejected the application of the statute of limitations for crimes against humanity, as requested by Daniel Urresti's legal defense, and upheld his 12-year prison sentence for the murder of journalist Hugo Bustíos.

[...]

The prosecutor opposed the defense's request for the former minister to apply Law 31207 regarding the statute of limitations for crimes against humanity committed in the fight against terrorism before 2000 in this case.

It should be remembered that the murder of Hugo Bustíos and the attempted murder of Eduardo Rojas in Huanta occurred in 1988."
