Massacre in Bamboo
Army commandoes killed farm workers in Bambú in retaliation
On March 10, 1992, a commando patrol of the Peruvian Army from Lima entered the hamlet of Bambú and killed everyone working in the harvest. Antonio Bazán Isminio had hired twelve people to help him harvest cocoa and bananas. The murders were committed in retaliation for the deaths of some commandos in nearby communities. The bodies were found three days later scattered in different places, with signs of torture, beatings and burns before they were shot.
