Recruitment of school students in Lucanas

The Shining Path systematically recruited students from schools in Lucanas between 1983-1987.

The terrorists came at night to ask for support and took the students from the schools. Among them were two older students, 10 and 9 years old. A witness wonders how they were training these children with weapons. The entry into the schools and the recruitment of students was repeated in the area until 1987, showing a systematic practice of recruiting school-age children.
