Peru: US Gov’t Document Links García to 1980s Death Squads
Inter Press Service (IPS), Dec 5, 2007
There is irony in the recent announcement by Peru’s President Alan García that he would publish the names of 1,800 “freed terrorists”, so that people might recognise and report them if they were participating in anti-state conspiracies. His list includes people imprisoned on false charges or never convicted or sentenced.
One name that is not on the list is that of Alan García.
However, according to a declassified U.S. government document, García, during his first administration from 1985-1990, gave instructions to terror squads organised by his political party to assassinate suspected leftists. Victims included trade unionists and other civil society leaders.
This writer discovered the document, and it was declassified at her request. It is posted following the full article.
