They are not allowed to have anything which could give them information about the outside world. We have not been allowed in since the hungerstrike began. Usually we are allowed to visit for half an hour once a month. Only two relatives are allowed to visit, and they must be direct relatives, such as parents, children, or spouse. No friends or other relatives are allowed to visit them.
Attorneys have only limited chances to visit the prisoners.
The prisoners send letters to the Human Rights Ombudsman, to the Minister of Justice, and so on, but their letters never arrive. For us, this is a tragedy which we have been living through for several years. I don't think there's a justice system like Peru's anywhere else in the world. All of this is an act of revenge against the prisoners, because they refused to sign certain papers, they refused to show the government in a good light. The prisoners were not willing to abandon their political beliefs.
