PERU: Declassified documents shine new light on SL crackdown
On 28 August Peru marked the 20th anniversary of the publication of the final report by the country’s Commission on Truth and Reconciliation (CVR). The report provided the definitive account of the Maoist guerrilla group Sendero Luminoso (SL)’s insurgency, which caused an estimated 69,000 deaths in the 1980s and 1990s. To mark that anniversary, the US non-profit National Security Archive (NSA) published a collection of previously classified US intelligence documents detailing abuses by the other party in the conflict – the security forces loyal to the governments of Alan García (1985-1990, 2006-2011) and Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000).
