Overview
- Intelligence units and the Grupo Terna raided a site on Avenida Jorge Chávez in central Arequipa and found an abortion in progress on a woman of about 20 who was roughly two months pregnant.
- The premises were outfitted to mimic a legitimate medical center, yet none of the detained women had professional credentials or legal authorization to practice.
- The patient was transferred for care to Hospital Honorio Delgado Espinoza, and her partner was detained during the operation.
- Authorities seized blood traces, medications, medical instruments, seven mobile phones, and 300 soles in cash as evidence.
- The detainees were identified as Luz Tapia, Brenda Cama, Luz Apaza, Celia Tapia, Elis Tapia, Magaly Véliz, and Mónica García, and initial inquiries point to possible ties to the group known as Las Desalmadas del Sur, with potential charges under review for illegal practice and related offenses.
