On October 8, 1989, in a military operation in the mining center of Julcani, Santiago Lizana Acha was killed with a bullet in the head. This act of violence was perpetrated by the military during raids in the mining centers of Huancavelica. The acts of violence provoked by the military began to significantly weaken union organization in most of the mining centers in Huancavelica. The report also mentions that in 1994, in February, in the same mining center of Julcani, members of the National Police murdered worker Santiago Lizana Acha with a bullet in the head, accusing him of being a terrorist, which suggests a possible confusion of dates in the document.
