The legal representative of Peru's head of State, Eduardo Pachas, inserted the habeas corpus petition claiming violation of the right to individual liberty due process and due to adequate procedural protection in Parliament.
The violation of the presumption of innocence and freedom of conscience and the breach of the principle of legality and inapplicability by the analogy of criminal law were mentioned among the reasons to insert the habeas corpus.
The habeas corpus is intended to dismiss the agreement reached by the subcommittee on February 28, which conceded the constitutional complaint alleging treason against the Peruvian state. It also remarked on the assemblage of the definitive file on the complaint for having violated due process.
