E/CN.4/2005/85/Add.4 page 9 migrants enter Chile across the pampas (farmland) near the Santa Rosa-Chacalluta border crossing; this route is also said to be used for smuggling goods and drugs. The Special Rapporteur was told there are mined areas in the Chilean sector,9 which would involve an additional risk to illegal migrants using this border; for this reason clandestine entry to Chile from Tacna is sometimes effected through Bolivia, where border controls are less stringent. It appears that some Peruvians enter Chile with their identity document and once in Arica present a passport with a bogus entry stamp previously obtained in Tacna. In Arica, migrant-smugglers operate in the bus terminal, charging between US$ 1,500 and 4,000 for clandestine passage through the second checkpoint, while some bus drivers are said to charge about US$ 100 to include illegal migrants on the lists of passengers whose papers are in order. 28. According to information received, on 25 January 2004 the Arica Port Authority informed the Consulate-General of Peru in the city about an incident that had taken place in the vicinity of the Chilean lighthouse adjacent to boundary marker No. 1 at the border between the two countries, and had resulted in the death of an undocumented citizen, presumably of Peruvian nationality, who was shot several times as he attempted to enter Chilean territory. The injured man was taken to the Juan Noe hospital in Arica, to which the Peruvian consul immediately went in order to give him the necessary support and assistance. A few hours later, the Chilean authorities reported that the presumed Peruvian citizen had died. Without prejudice to the results of the investigation and identification of the dead man, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru expressed its surprise and disapproval at the disproportionate use of force by the members of the Chilean navy manning the guard post, and requested, through the Peruvian consular office in Arica and the Chilean Embassy in Lima, a thorough investigation in order to elucidate the facts, determine who was responsible and, if necessary, apply the appropriate sanctions.10 29. Peruvians in an irregular situation intercepted by Chilean plain-clothes police officers are held in administrative detention centres and expelled as a group from Arica. The Peruvian consuls in Arica and Iquique told the Special Rapporteur that their compatriots only went to the consular offices when they had a problem and that they appeared to be somewhat afraid of the consular authorities. The consulates in Arica and Iquique had intervened in several cases of sexual abuse against Peruvian women who had allegedly been lured with false offers of work and then faced arbitrary decisions by Chilean border officials concerning the travel money requirement. Peruvian migrant workers in Tacna and Iquique rarely reported physical attacks or unpaid wages to their consulates, but when they did, their complaints were transmitted to the prefect. The Special Rapporteur was informed that persons who were expelled or deported were often not accompanied to the border following identification but were taken by regular bus services to Tacna, thus avoiding intervention by the Peruvian authorities. 30. Itinerant traders and small retailers11 told the Special Rapporteur that the Peruvian consular authorities did not defend their rights when they were the object of frequent racist and xenophobic attacks by gangs of violent youths in Arica, to the apparent indifference of the population.

The Human Rights Commission of the Apostolic Vicariate of San José del Amazonas informed the Special Rapporteur about movements of migrants along the border between Peru, Brazil and Colombia, which Peruvians from different parts of the country arrive at on their way
