Arrival of the policy of repentance in Alto Huallaga
In 1993, the Peruvian State's policy of repentance arrived in Alto Huallaga as part of the counter-subversive strategy. This measure contributed to the deterioration of the PCP-SL structure in the region, which had already been weakened after the capture of Guzmán in 1992.
At the end of 1993, the policy of repentance implemented by the Peruvian State reached Alto Huallaga. This policy took place in a context of deterioration of the internal discipline of the PCP-SL in the region, after the large-scale military operations initiated in 1989 and especially after the capture of Abimael Guzmán in September 1992. The document mentions this policy as one of the factors that precipitated the deterioration of the Shining Path command structure in the area. The policy of repentance was part of the State's counter-subversive strategy that sought to weaken the subversive organizations through the desertion of their militants.
