Mass Grave Discovered in Emergency Zone
Mass clandestine graves are discovered 36 kilometers from the city of Huanta. This cable estimates that approximately 49 to 50 males and one female were killed in a methodical fashion and then subsequently disfigured to prevent identification. While the government officially denies any responsibility for the atrocity, public opinion represented by both opposition and pro-regime press, have decidedly attributed the murders to government forces.
