Retrial Starts for Shining Path Founder |
2005-09-27 |
![]() About 18 police stood guard in the courtroom in the maximum security naval base prison in Lima's port of Callao, where the 70-year-old former philosophy professor has been held since April 1993. The retrial reunited Guzman with nine of his top commanders, including his longtime lover and second-in-command, Elena Iparraguirre. Guzman and the others are charged with terrorism for an array of massacres, car bombings and acts of sabotage that date back to the 1980 start of Shining Path insurgency. |
