In June 1990, the Army and the police entered the National University of Central Peru (UNCP) and arrested more than a hundred students suspected of being subversives. This intervention took place in the context of the struggle between the PCP-SL and the MRTA at the university, which had reached bloody proportions in 1989. In the months following June 1990, similar operations were carried out until 1991, when the Army took control of the UNCP. This action was part of the measures taken by the Armed and Police Forces to guarantee the presidential elections of April and June 1990.
