Peru: Mayor arrested for Sendero links
A Peruvian judge ordered on 13 August that the mayor of Tocache in the north-eastern region of San Martín be placed under preventive detention for 18 months to face charges of terrorism and suspected involvement in a drug network. David Bazán Arévalo was arrested in late July by Peru’s counter-narcotics police Dirandro and the anti-terrorist police (Dircote), with support from the Lima office of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The charges were filed by Peru’s supraprovincial prosecutor’s office for crimes of terrorism and human rights.
