Marine raid in Luricocha

Marines commit abuses and murders in Luricocha communities

In 1983, Marines committed crimes and abuses in communities in the Luricocha district. Testimonies describe the marines as coming from 'another nation', evidencing the local population's perception of the military as foreigners. Because some villagers were linked to terrorism, the marines indiscriminately killed villagers.
