Resumen:
On September 17, 1985, President Garcia removes Emergency Zone Generals Jarama and Mori, following the Senate Human Rights Commission's findings that an army patrol commander was responsible for the August 14th civilian massacre at Accomarca. Their removal represents the Garcia Administration's more general displeasure with the military’s overall record on human rights. The handling of this affair provokes dissatisfaction within the military and concern among military officials that their own experiences in counter-insurgency operations may place them in danger of government reprisals
