Uchuraccay Massacre: The Story of the Guide Who Died with the Eight Journalists
The eight journalists, martyrs of Uchuraccay, murdered on January 26, 1983, have always been justly honored; but what happened to their guide, Juan Argumedo, and to a community member, Severino Huáscar Morales, killed for trying to defend Argumedo, his friend, is largely unknown. "In that remote town of Ayacucho, 10 people were massacred, not just 8" is the cry of Rosa Luz Argumedo Aguilar, the daughter of that guide, whose body was declared lost in 1983, was found and buried in secret amid the chaos by his wife, and, ordered exhumed by a Lima judge, did not rest in peace until 1987.
