The Putis massacre

"The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has been able to establish that in December 1984, no fewer than one hundred and twenty-three (123) men and women from the communities of Cayramayo, Vizcatampata, Orccohuasi, and Putis, in the district of Santillana, province of Huanta (Ayacucho), were victims of an arbitrary execution carried out by Army troops garrisoned in the community of Putis. The community members were gathered by the military under false pretenses, forced to dig a mass grave, and then shot dead by the security forces."
