Unearthing Peru's Largest Mass Grave in Ayacucho

The BBC published a story last week about the unearthing of Peru's largest mass grave from the 20-year internal armed conflict. The Peruvian Forensic Anthropology Team (EPAF) is carrying out the exhumation in Putis, an abandoned Andean village in the province of Ayacucho. While in Ayacucho, we will meet with EPAF to learn about their work documenting the atrocities from the armed conflict and their efforts to return the remains of the victims to their families.
