The Japanese ambassador to Peru was holding a party at his home in Lima on December 17, 1996, when 14 members of a revolutionary militant group stormed the compound, taking more than 400 guests hostage.

Only one hostage and two commandos died, and the raid was deemed a success. What had been the militants’ demands? Discuss
