Peru: Trvko case stays in ordinary courts, military jurisdiction appeal pending

A Peruvian court ruled that the case against police officer 'Trvko' for the death of Mauricio Ruiz will remain in ordinary justice, rejecting a defense motion to transfer it to military court. The defense appealed immediately, and the Superior Chamber will make the final determination. This procedural decision affects accountability for police violence and the scope of military jurisdiction in Peru.
