Resumen:
This document describes the continued aftermath of the prison riots and massacres, including the probable resignation of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Interior. Policemen arrested following the investigation into Lurigancho continue to be held by police authorities and have not been transferred to Canto Grande Prison as previously promised. Navy forces have also recently been implicated in the media of summarily executing prisoners in El Fronton prison. The cable also notes the possibility that Garcia may remove top military command officers, if it turns out the ultimate responsibility for the massacre lies with the joint command.
