Abstract

Names Unknown Gay and Transgender People | Murdered | 1980s In the period of armed conflict, the communist militant group Sendero Lumino - so (Shining Path) performed acts of “social cleansing” by infiltrating neighborhoods, sweeping out those they considered undesirables, which were primarily transgender people, homosexuals, and sex workers. Victims were often raped and tortured by mutilation before they were killed. Their bodies were dumped in streams, rivers, or piled on roadsides. Locals indicated this section of a nearby stream was a frequent dumping ground. Calle Poetas and Ciro Alegria, Yarinacocha, Pucallpa, Peru

Resumo

Nomes desconhecidos, Pessoas Gay e Transgênero| Assassinadas | década de 1980.

Durante o período do conflito armado, o grupo militante comunista Sendero Luminoso realizou atos de “limpeza social” infiltrando-se nos bairros e eliminando as pessoas que consideravam indesejáveis, entre eles, principalmente, pessoas transgênero, homossexuais e trabalhadoras sexuais. As vítimas eram frequentemente violadas e torturadas mediante mutilações antes de serem assassinadas. Seus corpos eram lançados a arroios, rios ou abandonados nas bordas das estradas. Moradores da área indicaram que esta parte de um arroio próximo era lugar habitual onde os corpos eram despejados. Calle Poetas e Ciro Alegria, Yarinacocha, Pucallpa, Peru
