Lima. A court this Monday declared a political movement identified with the Shining Path armed group judicially dissolved, although subject to the laying down of arms declared by it.
The Fourth Appeals Chamber ordered the measure against the Movement for Amnesty and Fundamental Rights (Movadef), as part of the sentence that at the same time sentenced 29 of its members to sentences of at least 15 years in prison.
The ruling refers to the so-called Perseo case, an anti-subversive operation that culminated in a vast raid in various parts of the country that in 2014 raided the group’s premises and the homes of its members.
The court sentenced the Movadef leaders Alfredo Crespo, Fernando Olórtegui, Atilio Cahuana, Carlos Gamero, Olmer Apac and Zulma Peña, and 26 other defendants, on the accusation of being a member of a terrorist organization.
The sentence provides for the closure of all the movement’s premises and sentenced the members of Sendero Luminoso, already imprisoned, to 35 years in prison, Elena Iparraguirre, Florindo Flores, alias ‘Comrade Artemio’, Osman Morote, María Pantoja, Margot Liendo and Victoria Trujillo, most of them sentenced to life imprisonment.
Movadef was created under the guidance of the Shining Path leader, Abimael Guzmán, after his capture in 1992, to lay down his arms and fight politically for an amnesty and reintegration into legality.
For this purpose, Movadef was created, which gathered in September 2011 the necessary signatures to register as a political party and participate in the elections, but the National Elections Jury rejected its registration.
The electoral court argued that it is an organization linked to terrorism, because its statutes included attachment to the thoughts of Guzmán, who died in the high-security prison of the Naval Base in the Lima port of Callao.
Currently and for decades, only an armed fraction of Shining Path remnants maintains itself with sporadic actions of ambushes of patrols and counterinsurgency bases in the wild Valley of the Apurímac, Ene and Mantaro Rivers (Vraem), a territory in which there is also activity. of drug trafficking.
