Fajardo said the couple went on hunger strike “in response to the punishment of isolation which authorities at the Callao Naval Base have unjustly and disproportionately imposed on them.” The lawyer said he was allowed to meet with Iparraguirre on August 1, but not with Guzmán.

When Montesinos was the nation’s strongman, time was he would visit Guzmán in his cell to tempt him (with some success) to cooperate; and to discuss as connoisseurs the secrets of unlimited power.
