The Judicial Branch of Peru rejected the habeas corpus request presented for Duiliana Sánchez Pereira, a citizen of Venezuela, who remained at the Jorge Chávez International Airport for more than two months. The decision forces the 28-year-old to return to her country of origin.

In that sense, they stated that although the 1993 Political Constitution recognizes the right to freedom of movement, this is not absolute, since it is conditional on compliance with immigration laws.

Luis Gonzales Delgado’s lawsuit was resolved by the 8th Preparatory Investigation Court of the Superior Court of Justice of Callao. The measure was also against the Callao Zonal Headquarters of the National Immigration Superintendency.

Faced with rejection by the Judiciary and the Review Commission for Refugee Affairs, Duiliana decided to travel, free of charge, to Venezuela.

According to Migrations, during 2023 more than 600 foreigners have been denied entry into the country at the Jorge Chávez airport. These people, of different nationalities, did not have the required visa, in accordance with reciprocity and immigration security policies.

The entity indicated that these people must return to their country of origin, at no cost, on the airline that initially transported them. Then, they will be able to return to Peru, but with the entry requirements met.

Migrations also reminds that companies that bring passengers who do not comply with all requirements, such as visa requirements, will be fined.

Diuliana Sánchez Pereira, 28, was trapped in the international zone of the Jorge Chávez airport in Lima, where she has been living for more than two months due to the loss of her identity documents.

According to a report from Cuarto Poder, she had arrived in Peru in 2019 and was working for various brands; However, she lost her passport and work permit during a trip to Europe in September 2023, which left her in a precarious situation.

The incident occurred when Sánchez was visiting Italy, specifically the cities of Rome and Venice, where he was the victim of a robbery.

The young woman sought help at the Peruvian Embassy, ​​but was not granted the safe conduct she requested, but was instead redirected to the Venezuelan Embassy. The Venezuelan safe conduct only allowed him to return to her native country, which did not resolve her situation.

Gabriel González, Sánchez’s lawyer, detailed to Cuarto Poder the difficulties his client faced at the airfield. For example, he couldn’t get a decent space to rest, since there were only chairs and the lights were always on; and she did not have the possibility of receiving visitors, which caused her to not have clean clothes frequently.

Diuliana Sánchez is not the only foreign citizen who is in this condition of indefinite stay in the international area of ​​Jorge Chávez, since other travelers are also reported in similar situations.

The Ombudsman’s Office intervened in this case by sending a document to the National Immigration Superintendence. Through the letter, he appealed to legislative decree 1350, which allows migrants to reunite with their family in the country; However, the entity said that this category does not include parents, according to its own interpretation of the regulations.

During the entire time she was at the airport, Migrations remained firm in its position of not relaxing the immigration rules for particular cases. Fernando Nuñez, director of immigration registration and control, mentioned to the research program that they were going to respect the legal process that Sánchez had initiated through a habeas corpus, although he stated that there were not going to be imminent changes in his policy.

In recent years, Peru has become one of the main destinations for Venezuelan migrants fleeing the economic, political and social crisis in their country. Since 2015, more than 800,000 Venezuelans have entered Peruvian territory in search of better life, employment and security opportunities. This migratory flow has presented significant challenges for the Peruvian government in terms of integration, access to basic services and employment. The situation continues to be a relevant issue on the bilateral and regional agenda.
