With a meeting with the
President of the Republic Dina Boluarte, the delegation of the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), which was invited to monitor the political situation in the country, began its visit to Peru.
"
We will verify the human rights situation in three days. The idea is to listen to as many voices as possible," he said at a press conference held after his
meeting with the Peruvian President.
In this regard, the IACHR Rapporteur for Peru announced that the mission will listen to different civil society organizations and the families of the victims.
According to Ralon, an invitation has also been extended to representatives of business organizations. Besides, a meeting with various legislators is being planned for January 13.
On the same day, a press conference will be held to present the first conclusions of the work carried out in the country.
Solidarity with victims
The representative of the visiting delegation did not give details on the topics discussed at the meeting with the Peruvian Head of State.
Likewise, he preferred not to say whether they will travel to Juliaca, in Puno, where protests and riots have been held this week, resulting in the loss of human lives.
In this regard, Ralon remarked that the IACHR delegation stands in solidarity with the families of the victims.
"We lament the loss of lives, both of demonstrators and law enforcement officers," he said.
