Accomarca Massacre

The Accomarca massacre was a tragic event that occurred in Peru during the internal conflict between law enforcement and the Shining Path. In this context of violence, more than 15 secular Christian organizations issued a communiqué entitled 'El quinto no matar', condemning the killings and advocating for peace and justice. This event highlights the complexity of the situation in Peru, where structural and conjunctural violence severely affected the population, especially peasants and marginalized sectors.
