Peru: Top cop under cloud put on rights commission

LIMA, Peru—A Peruvian police chief facing homicide charges over a deadly clash with Indian protesters has been named to a government commission responsible for defending officials charged with human rights violations.
Police Gen. Luis Muguruza, who commanded a police operation against an Indian road blockade last June that resulted in 33 deaths, was named a member of the Interior Ministry's human rights commission, according to a decree published Saturday in the government's official gazette.

Muguruza faces charges involving the deaths of four Indians as part of charges brought by prosecutors against a total of 17 police officers. Two clashes near the Amazon jungle town of Bagua killed 10 civilians and 23 officers.

Gloria Cano, a lawyer who specializes in human rights, said Sunday that Muguruza's new position could allow him to "lead his own defense in court."
