Extrajudicial executions in San Pedro de Pampay
In September 1983, the police and members of the Navy extrajudicially executed 13 community members of San Pedro de Pampay, Luricocha, Huanta. This event was part of the indiscriminate repressive strategy implemented after the arrival of the Armed Forces in Ayacucho in January 1983.
In September 1983, police and Navy troops extrajudicially executed 13 community members from San Pedro de Pampay, in the district of Luricocha, province of Huanta. This event occurred in the context of the entry of the Armed Forces into the region in January 1983 and the installation of the political-military command that radically changed life in Huamanga and its region. The Marine Infantry, known locally as "the navy", had taken control of the Huanta area since January 21, 1983. The executions in San Pedro de Pampay were part of a series of massacres and human rights violations committed by the forces of law and order in the area during 1983, the year that together with 1984 registered the highest number of civilian killings in the provinces of Huanta, Huamanga and La Mar.
