Visit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to Uchuraccay
The CVR visited Uchuraccay in May 2002, where the villagers, after overcoming their initial mistrust, drew up a list of victims of political violence in assemblies, beginning the recognition of their dead.
In May 2002, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission visited the community of Uchuraccay. Upon learning of the Commission's arrival, some community members initially thought that it was going to "judge them for the massacre of the journalists" that took place in 1983. Once they overcame their initial mistrust, the community members, in two assemblies, drew up a list of the Uchuraccay people who had died as a result of political violence. This was the first act of recognition through which they began to give a face and identity to their dead.
