Seizure of Juanjui by the MRTA and Panorama report
Panorama's report on the seizure of Juanjui by MRTA generated controversy due to dramatization and apparent subversive propaganda.
On November 8, 1987, Channel 5's Panorama program aired a report by Alejandro Guerrero on the seizure of Juanjui by the MRTA. The report showed commander Rolando (Victor Polay) and uniformed militants in San Jose de Sisa. The coverage generated controversy for dramatizing the facts and giving a triumphalist reading of the MRTA, being criticized for unintentionally serving propaganda purposes of the subversive organization.
