On 2 April, the Navy Court Martial convicted her of the offence of treason, a verdict which was overturned on 11 August by the Supreme Council of Military Justice, which acquitted her, but ordered that she should be tried by the civil courts for the offence of terrorism. Although acquitted, she was held in detention without trial until 8 October, when the trial for the offence of terrorism - for the same act - began in Lima Examining Court No. 43, a trial in which she was convicted. The case was brought to the Working Group's attention.
