PIP delegation finds Uchuraccay burnt and abandoned
A PIP delegation traveled to Uchuraccay on October 1, 1983 looking for requisitioned community members, finding many houses burned and abandoned due to PCP-Sendero Luminoso attacks.
On October 1, 1983, a delegation of the Peruvian Investigative Police (PIP) traveled to Uchuraccay in search of the community members who had been requisitioned for the judicial process related to the massacre of journalists that occurred in January of that year. Upon arriving in the community, the members of the delegation found that many houses were burned and abandoned. This situation was a direct consequence of the repeated attacks perpetrated by members of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso against the community. The abandonment of Uchuraccay reflected the state of terror and violence that had forced the villagers to flee their homes.
