Peruvian Massacre Survivor Testifies

A woman who survived a massacre by Peruvian army units almost 20 years ago testified Monday against two former military officers, saying she watched soldiers rape and torture women and children.

Teofila Ochoa was 12 at the time of the 1985 killings of 69 people, including her mother and five younger siblings.

“My head would hurt, my heart would hurt and I would wish I was dead,” Ochoa said in Spanish. “I had no one, because I lost who I had loved the most.”"*
