About "UCHURACCAY"

Between 1980 and 1992, Peru experienced the worst internal armed conflict in its republican history that left more than 69,000 dead people. During these violent times, the inhabitants of Uchuraccay (village in the Peruvian province of Huanta, located 4,000 meters above sea level) suffered the consequences of this war. They were in the middle of the confrontations between the guerrilla group Sendero Luminoso and the Peruvian state army. In 1983, the Peruvian state army induced the inhabitants to kill whoever approaches the village. Thus, on January 26 of that year, the village people were involved in the massacre of eight journalists and their guide (who were assumed to be senderistas) between another murders. This was the consequence of the extreme violence spread around by the Peruvian state army and Sendero Luminoso, which increased the discrimination by the Peruvian government to the Uchuraccay inhabitants who were persecuted and treated as criminals. Little is known of the 135 farmers of Uchuraccay were killed in the following months and years after this happened. Under this condition, the entire community of Uchuraccay upped and fled one night in 1984, leaving their animals, their homes, their crops, their fields and all their belongings behind to find a new place to live.
