Peru – The Search for Truth and Justice
Since its inception in February 2001, the Peruvian Forensic Anthropology Team (EPAF), a civil society non-governmental organization, has been the primary advocate for the search, recovery, and identification of missing individuals in Peru. EPAF was formed when a group of Peruvian professionals working for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia decided to apply their expertise in their own country. EPAF´s 17-member team applies scientific methods in the fields of forensic anthropology and archaeology in their attempt to restore the identify of thousands of missing Peruvians that rest in hidden burial sites across the country.
In Summer 2008, AP sent Fellow Ash Kosiewicz to Peru to work with EPAF. Read Ash's blog!
The Praxis Institute for Social Justice has also publised a blog that is following the Fujimori trail. Read Fujumori on Trial.
In the following pages, find press releases and more information from EPAF, as well as other campaigns related to the search for truth in Peru.
