This was confirmed to reporters on Friday by Gisela Ortiz, sister of Luis Ortiz, one of the students victimized by military elements during the Fujimori regime in 1992.
Ortiz said the former president's release from prison "is an affront to our struggle and effort to achieve justice."
"Yesterday, the communication was sent to the Inter-American Court asking that they issue a resolution as soon as possible regarding this contempt," she stated.
Likewise, the former Culture minister said it has been requested that the case be discussed at the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly, in accordance with the procedures established in this regard.
Grounds for petition
According to Gisela Ortiz, there are legal reasons for complying with the sentence imposed on Fujimori over the aforementioned crimes.
"The pardon granted in 2017 did not comply with domestic regulations, and the seriousness of the illness that he claimed to have was not proven," she indicated.
In that sense, Ortiz said she hopes that the former president "returns to prison as appropriate once the Inter-American System issues a resolution once again with the firmness that we are waiting for."
"No one can 'turn the page' on those of us who have lost our loved ones," Ortiz indicated.
"Reconciliation doesn't emerge from impunity or when murderers are rewarded; it emerges from truth and justice," she added.
Therefore, the activist rejected the comments that allege it is the relatives who are opposed to reconciling the country.
"Let the (Peruvian) State do things right so that it guarantees access to justice, and talks about a possible reconciliation can be held," Ortiz expressed.
"The truth is still missing in La Cantuta case, because four of our missing people have not yet been found," she concluded.
