Overview

  • Resolution Nº 0370-2025-JUS creates a temporary working group led by the Justice Ministry with representatives from the Health Ministry and the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations.
  • The mandate is to present a normative proposal authorizing exceptional economic support for the family of Eduardo Ruiz Sanz and for people seriously injured in the Oct. 15 demonstrations.
  • The Council of Reparations serves as the technical secretariat and may invite other public or private entities to provide information or technical assistance.
  • The panel must be installed within two business days, operates ad honorem, has a 10‑business‑day term extendable once, and uses the Justice Ministry’s institutional budget without Treasury funds.
  • Prosecutors are investigating the fatal shooting of Ruiz near Plaza Francia with two police officers under inquiry for alleged homicide, and the Ombudsman reports 120 injured as the group assesses who qualifies as seriously hurt.
