Capture of Margie Clavo Peralta

Margie Clavo Peralta, an important national leader of the PCP-SL (Shining Path), was captured in the city of Huancayo, specifically in the district of El Tambo. Together with her, Rodolfo Gutiérrez Muñoz, who was a Shining Path military commander, was arrested. This capture represented a significant blow to the Shining Path organization in the central region. The event occurred in a context of weakening of the PCP-SL structure after the capture of Abimael Guzmán in 1992 and the dismantling of the Sub-Zonal Committee of the Mantaro Valley. The capture of Clavo Peralta marked almost the end of the Shining Path organization in the central region, whose history would come to a definitive end with the capture of Oscar Ramírez Durán in 1999.
