Terruqueo (from Andean Spanish terruco, -ca 'terrorist') refers in Peru to the act of falsely labeling people as terrorists or terrorist sympathizers without evidence, primarily via the use of the political pejoratives terruco or tuco. Usually, the victims are alleged to be linked to Shining Path and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement guerrilla, armed groups involved in the Peruvian Internal Armed Conflict.
