Delta Pichanaki Massacre
Self-defense committee killed 10 people in Delta Pichanaki
In September 1993, a group of members of the self-defense committee of the San Fernando de Meritori annex in the neighboring district of Rio Negro in the province of Satipo killed 10 inhabitants of the Delta Pichanaki annex because the community refused to organize itself into self-defense committees. This was a punitive act associated with self-defense committees.
