Violence and Human Rights Abuses by Sendero Luminoso
In 1994, members of the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) committed numerous human rights abuses, including sexual violence and murder, against civilians in Peru. Testimonies describe incidents where families were captured, women and girls were sexually assaulted, and individuals were murdered. These acts were part of a broader pattern of violence and intimidation carried out by the group during this period.
