On the morning of 6 May 1992 members of the police and the armed forces tried to remove various Sendero Luminoso prisoners from the Canto Grande prison, Lima. According to the information received, this resulted in a clash between the security forces and the prisoners (who appear to have been armed) which lasted several hours and resulted in an unknown number of casualties. Concern has been expressed that Sendero Luminoso prisoners remaining in Canto Grande might be tortured as a reprisal for this incident. (18 May 1992) 376. In this connection the Government stated that the safety of all the prisoners was fully guaranteed and that it was not the practice of the Peruvian Government to torture prisoners. Female prisoners have been transferred to the Santa Monica women's prison which is specially equipped to accommodate them. The first incident was caused by the prisoners, who attacked the unarmed police personnel who entered the women's wing of the prison. The physical and mental integrity of the transferred prisoners is assured as delegations of the Interamerican Human Rights Commission and the International Committee of the Red Cross can confirm. 377.
