A number of bodies of people killed in Chungui, Peru, around 1984-85 have been released for proper burial. Exhumation work has been going on for some time. The exact number seems to be unclear - La Republica is reporting 78, Correo 54, news agency EFE 65, and Argentina's Pagina/12 78, but only 68 of them identified.
I have mentioned Chungui a couple of times before, in connection with the work of artist Edilberto Jimenez.
