Peruvian judge orders 118 military arrests
A Peruvian judge has ordered the arrest of 118 current and retired soldiers for their alleged involvement in the 1988 massacre of peasants in an Andean village.
Judge Miluska Cano Lopez issued the arrest order in connection with the torture and killing of more than two dozen villagers in Cayara on May 14, 1988, and other human rights violations in two neighbouring hamlets in the region of Ayacucho, 250 miles south-east of Lima.
