A Peruvian citizen’s death during a union protest in La Pampa district is raising questions regarding Hezbollah-linked militia presence in the Latin American country.

As protesters were confronting security officers a few weeks ago, one of the demonstrators was reportedly shot in the head by sniper fire.

Local media in Peru then accused one militia group linked directly with Hezbollah cooperating with the Sandero Luminoso Party, a communist group with an extremist history.

These accusations were based on evidence that a Hezbollah-backed charity La Pampa district is supported financially and ideologically by Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah.

Hezbollah operates in Peru in cooperation with political groups such as the Sandero Luminoso – also known as the Shining Path Party.

The party and its affiliates follow the Peruvian communist party and the military and political Maoist communists in Peru.

Earlier in July, Iran-proxy Hezbollah registered its own party in Peru under the name “Peruvian Hezbollah branch” and pledged allegiance to the banned group and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In March, The Arab League designated Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group “a terrorist organization”. The United States also brands the group as such.

    That is certainly how Hezbullah preforms “crowd control”. Just ask the Iranians. Lebanese Hezbullah were brought in to help control the protests against the sham elections Iranians have every few years, and that happened hundreds of times against the unarmed Iranian protesters. That Party of God trash should be shipped out or buried there before they spread their cancer.

      “Maoist communists” … ??? Any gang they can get along with, I suppose.

    The Hizzbillies have found a financial gold mine, aka cocaine, in South America.

      Not counting the ‘extras’ of smuggling people around.
      Side profits can be made from such ‘extras’. If a gang ( usually initially to avoid taxes and ‘paperwork’ – which means others not in the gangs pay their share too) is doing one thing that’s illegal, then it rarely turns downs another opportunity to add bits of illegal ‘trade’ to make more. And many people are willing to ‘help’ if it means some cash in a pocket. Ways of humans – after all.
