Vigilia en Cayara

Áttekintés

On the night of May 13, 1988, a Shining Path column ambushed a Peruvian military convoy in the Cayara district of Ayacucho, killing four soldiers and wounding 15 others. In response to the attack, in the following days, military patrols tortured, executed, and disappeared around thirty people in Cayara. Now, every May 13, the people of Cayara commemorate the tragic events with a private vigil where they strengthen their community ties.
