The President of Peru, Dina Boluarte, has signed into law a contentious amnesty bill that grants immunity to military personnel and police accused of human rights abuses during the country’s internal conflict, particularly related to the Shining Path insurgency. This decision has sparked significant public outcry and raised concerns among human rights advocates, as it pardons members of security forces implicated in atrocities over several decades. Despite the backlash, the government is moving forward with the amnesty, allowing hundreds of accused individuals to evade prosecution for alleged violations committed during the fight against rebel groups.
