Failed armed strike in Lima
On March 28, 1990, the armed strike called by the PCP-SL in Lima failed. The action failed to paralyze the Peruvian capital.
The Communist Party of Peru - Shining Path (PCP-SL) called for an armed strike in the city of Lima on March 28, 1990. The armed strike failed in its attempt to paralyze the Peruvian capital. This type of action was part of the PCP-SL's strategy to demonstrate its capacity for territorial control and to generate fear in the population. The failure of the strike evidenced limitations in the operational capacity of the subversive group in the capital during that period.
