Counter-subversive base in Millpo
Counter-subversive military base installed in 1983 in Millpo, Paucarbamba, from where patrols and arrests of villagers were carried out. The base promoted the organization of peasant patrols and was involved in disappearances and extrajudicial executions.
In 1983, the Army installed a counter-subversive base in the town of Millpo, in the highlands of the district of Paucarbamba, province of Churcampa. From this base, military patrols would go out to the communities and towns of Paucarbamba, detaining people who were then interrogated at the base. Some detainees, such as the brothers Hilario and Alejandro Soto Espinoza, captured on February 10, 1983, never reappeared. Towards the second half of 1984, the military personnel at the Millpo Base managed to get the inhabitants of Paucarbamba and Chinchihuasi to organize counter-subversive peasant patrols. On October 22, 1984, residents of Paucarbamba and military personnel from the Millpo Counter-Subversive Base detained and extrajudicially executed four people accused of being responsible for PCP-SL actions in the area.
