“Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Wednesday signed into law a controversial bill granting amnesty to military personnel, police and members of civilian self-defense units over a bloody 1980-2000 campaign against Maoist Shining Path guerrillas. … The law benefits uniformed personnel on trial but not yet convicted of crimes committed during fighting between state forces and the insurgent Shining Path and Tupac Amaru rebel groups, in which 70,000 people were killed, according to official data. About 20,000 people remain listed as ‘disappeared.’ It also provides for the release of anyone convicted who is now over the age of 70.” (08/13/25)
