FUNERAL OF EDITH LAGOS
Plaza de Armas of Ayacucho during the funeral of the young Shining Path leader Edith Lagos, who died in a confrontation with the Guardia Republicana on September 2, 1982. Nearly 10,000 people attended the burial. At that time, Huamanga society did not distinguish Sendero Luminoso's preaching in favor of justice and rebellion from its real political aims.
