Ollanta Humala

Ollanta Humala is followed by Storyz World for government and public service coverage connected to Peru in the South America chapter.
The Southern Peruvian Gas Pipeline was a major project to expand gas access for the domestic market, which they smeared in order to persecute Nadine and me. If today they have excluded all the ministers and officials who approved and carried it out, where is the collusion if no public official is involved? There is no crime. Nine years of harassment, raids on our home, asset seizures, and other measures are part of an open campaign of judicial persecution that can no longer be hidden. The dismissal hearing must put an end to this abuse.
Translated from SpanishToday brings to a close a disastrous chapter of judicial persecution in #Perú. The @TC_Peru ruling confirmed what we have always defended with our heads held high: we were persecuted and abusively imprisoned over alleged campaign contributions that were NEVER a crime. They destroyed our peace of mind, our right to health and good name, our children's assets, and the lives of valuable people who suffered this same persecution. A justice system that destroys its own citizens in this way is not seeking the truth but humiliation. Peru urgently needs a system independent of the powers that be, respectful of the principle of legality, that punishes the abuse of pretrial detention and guarantees a reasonable time and the presumption of innocence. A profound reform is needed to depoliticize justice and ensure that prosecutors' offices cease to be weapons of public persecution, so that no Peruvian family ever again has to suffer this ordeal.
