Arrest and death of 21 people by ronderos in Santa Rosa

In July 1993, peasant ronderos from Santa Rosa detained a group of people in the context of the internal armed conflict. During this event, 4 people were detained and 21 people were killed by the ronderos. This event is part of the period of violence between the counter-subversive peasant patrols and the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the Apurimac River Valley. The event reflects the human rights violations committed by the peasant patrols, a subject that according to the report was rarely discussed and about which the population was not willing to talk.
