Peru: Dilemma over what to do with body of Shining Path leader
Al Jazeera
Officials fear the body of Abimael Guzman could become a rallying point for supporters of the group.
Peruvian officials are facing a dilemma over what to do with the body of Abimael Guzman, the late founder of the brutal Shining Path fighter group, amid concerns his remains could be a rallying point for supporters. Guzman, leader of the group that brutalised the population of Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, died on Saturday in a military prison, aged 86. By law, prisoner’s remains should be turned over to a direct relative, but Guzman had none except his wife Elena Iparraguirre, the Shining Path’s former second-in-command, who is also serving a life sentence for “terrorism”.
