Summary/Abstract: A troubling testimony about the way in which the army acted in the last decades of the 20th century against the subversive actions organised by Sendero Luminoso. After a period of arrests and interrogations at the limit of “legality” – when the question was still asked if those arrested were guilty or not – the army turned to the execution without “discrimination” of all those that they were arresting and to attacks against those who were criticising them and to the assassination en masse of the inhabitants of the villages where the members of Sendero Luminoso were hiding. The text is a fragment from the volume “Muerte en il Pentagonito”, published in Bogota in 2004.
