Yuyanapaq. Para recordar 1980-2000
I have just returned from a very powerful photographic exhibition at the Museo de la Nacion, San Borja, Lima. It covered 20 years of the political violence. President Alan Garcia has just announced the new government will help defend hundreds of military officials accused of human rights abuses dating back to the two decades of conflict between government and guerrilla forces in the 1980s and 1990s.
Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the conflict, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Top officials, including former President Fujimori and current President Garcia were accused of grave abuses by the Commission, such as ordering massacres.
