Peru rescues 39 'slave workers' from Shining Path farm
28 July 2015 Latin America & Caribbean
The Peruvian army says it has rescued 39 people from a farm where the Shining Path rebel group kept them as slaves.
Some of the captives said they had been kidnapped some 30 years ago. The defence ministry said 26 of them were children, some of whom were born in captivity.
The victims said they were also forced to work in fields.

The military says soldiers were led to the farm by a former captive, who lived there for many years and escaped about a month ago.
