(IPYS/IFEX) - El 2 de abril de 2007, el reportero José Atauje, de la televisora Canal 4, fue agredido por Max Torre, presidente de la Beneficencia Pública de Ayacucho, región al sur del país. Torre le dio un puñete en el rostro al reportero para evitar que cubriera la detención de su sobrino en la comisaría por cometer disturbios y resistirse a la autoridad en la ciudad de Ayacucho.

El agresor es hermano del juez Francisco Torre, cuyo hijo también se hallaba entre los detenidos por la policía local.
