CASE  PER 110992

At the request of CEAPAZ, member of our network, we call upon you to
intervene URGENTLY on behalf of the following situation in Peru.
Brief description of the situation :
Reports received from the CEAPAZ give rise to fears for the physical
and psychological safety of the young Ana Rosario CELIS LAUREANO,
aged 16, following her detention and forced disappearance on 13
August 1992. This act was apparently perpetrated by elements of the
Peruvian Army from the Andahuasi Base, in the province of Huacho, in
the department of Lima.
According to this same information, on 21 June 1992, Ana Rosario
CELIS LAUREANO was arrested in the locality of Ambar near the town of
Huacho, by members of the army and accused of having connections with
the "Shining Path". On 14 July 1992 she was handed over to the police
(Policia Tecnica) in Huacho, and then brought before the First
Civilian Court (Juzgado 1ro de lo Civil) which, in the light of her
young age, released her on bail under the authority of her
grandfather, Basileo Laureano, resident of Number 698 Av. Cardenas,
in Cruz Blanca, in the district of Santa Maria, Huacho.
At about 01h.00 on 13 August 1992, four unidentified armed people
(one of whom was dressed in a military uniform) illegally entered Mr.
Basileo Laureano's house and abducted CELIS LAUREANO.
Despite appeals made to the authorities and requests made to the
police and the army in Andahuasi and Atahuampa, there has been news
of CELIS LAUREANO since 9 September 1992.
Action requested :
Please write to the Peruvian authorities asking them to adopt the
necessary measures to locate Ana Rosario CELIS LAUREANO and to
release her immediately and to ensure her physical and psychological
integrity at all times.
Inform the authorities in your respective countries, the United
Nations Organisation, the OAS, the European Community and other
national and international organisations asking them to intervene
with the Peruvian authorities so that
=     they open inquiries into the above mentioned incidents in order
to identify those responsible and punish them in accordance with the
law
=     they ensure the respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms in the country.
