State of emergency in several provinces of Peru
In August 1990, the government declared a thirty-day state of emergency in multiple provinces of Peru, including Lima, Callao, Arequipa, Cuzco and Puno, suspending individual guarantees.
By means of a supreme decree, the government of Alberto Fujimori Fujimori declared a state of emergency for thirty days in the provinces of Arequipa, Cuzco, Puno, Piura, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Maynas, Huaraz, Chimbote, Lima and Callao. As a consequence of this measure, individual guarantees were suspended in all these provinces. This declaration took place in the context of the beginning of Fujimori's government and the intensification of political violence in the country.
