1. 41. At its meeting of November 1997, the Committee awaited further information on two cases involving legal proceedings on which it had requested to be kept informed of the outcome: (1) proceedings against several workers charged with the offence of disturbing the peace (Félix Castillo Pérez, Elí Pando Malpartida, Antonio Yupanqui Oré, José Palacios Huamanchuco, Felipe Gutiérrez Cárdenas and Julio Camacho Díaz); and (2) charges concerning the death of two trade unionists (Alipio Chueca de la Cruz and Juán Marcos Donayre Cisneros) (see 308th Report, paras. 59 and 60).
2. 42. In its communication of 17 February 1998, the Government states that as regards the workers charged with the offence of disturbing the peace following incidents which occurred in the offices of the Corporation for the Development of El Callao (CORDECALLAO), the judicial authorities have closed the case on the ground of the extinction of the right of criminal action due to the statute of limitations. The Committee takes note of this information.
3. 43. As regards the proceedings concerning the death of the trade unionists Alipio Chueca de la Cruz and Juán Marco Donayre Cisneros as a result of the shots fired by CORDECALLAO security staff, the Government states that three persons have been charged with the offence of causing grievous bodily harm resulting in the death of the trade unionists and with the illegal possession of firearms. The Government adds that the proceedings have not been concluded and that it will keep the Committee informed in this respect. The Committee requests the Government to inform it of the outcome of these proceedings.
