VOICED : Sendero Luminoso usa ninos como escudos humanos

The video discusses the ongoing activities of the Sendero Luminoso guerrilla in Latin America, led by the brothers José and Raúl. Despite being largely dismantled in the 1990s, remnants of the group continue to operate in alliance with narcotraffickers. The guerrilla uses children as human shields and has been involved in kidnapping and exploiting civilians. Recent operations by Peruvian troops have rescued captives, including children and adults. The guerrilla, rooted in Maoist ideology, was responsible for a violent internal conflict in Peru from 1980 to 2000, resulting in approximately 69,000 deaths.
