In April 1983, fifteen villagers from Huancaraylla, a district in the province of Victor Fajardo, were disappeared by military personnel from the Cangallo base. This event occurred in the context of the military offensive that began in January 1983, when the Armed Forces entered the area to combat the PCP-Sendero Luminoso. The disappearance of these villagers is part of a pattern of human rights violations committed by the military forces in the province of Víctor Fajardo during 1983, the year with the highest death toll in the entire department of Ayacucho.
