Detention and torture of ronderos by the military in Misquipata
Military personnel from the Misquipata base detained and tortured two ronderos, Higinio Quispe Pérez and Eleuterio Inga Quispilaya, in April 1991. This is evidence of the abuses committed by the armed forces against the members of the peasant patrols.
In April 1991, soldiers from the Misquipata base detained and tortured ronderos Higinio Quispe Pérez and Eleuterio Inga Quispilaya. This event occurred in the context of the organization of Self-Defense Committees in the Alto and Bajo Cunas area, where the Army had established a military base in April 1990 to promote the formation of peasant patrols against subversion. The event illustrates the tensions and abuses that existed between the military forces and the ronderos themselves, who were supposed to collaborate in the counter-subversive struggle.
