Congressman Javier Diez Canseco Cisneros presented a political amnesty bill before Congress. This proposal was part of a broader debate on amnesty for political prisoners and those accused of terrorism that had been raised by various political sectors, including majority sectors of the PAP and the United Left. The bill was presented in a context where some APRA and leftist parliamentarians had expressed their support for an amnesty, while Acción Popular was against it. However, the mass murder in Accomarca put this debate on the back burner.
