Forced recruitment and murder of child in Puerto Nuevo Ashaninka

Shining Path forcibly recruited a 13-year-old boy in the Puerto Nuevo Ashaninka Native Community. The boy tells how the subversives hanged and filleted with knives children who did not obey their mothers, cutting them to the heart to kill them and then bury them. This testimony shows the brutality of the control exercised by the Shining Path over the population, including the extreme punishment of children for disobedience.
