Forensics experts began piling the dusty skeletons of 60 people — including children and babies — into boxes Friday, 24 years after they were killed by the military in this village in Peru's highlands.

Peru's government-appointed truth commission said that 123 people were killed in the 1984 massacre in Putis — the largest mass slaying of the bloody standoff between Maoist Shining Path guerrillas and a state-sponsored counterinsurgency campaign.

"Forensic experts have found 60 skeletons in Putis, but four other graves in the area remain unearthed."

“Who is going to stand up for them if they are all dead?”

Good question.
