Capture of Víctor Zavala Cataño on June 23, 1991

On June 23, 1991, one month after the military intervention in La Cantuta, the police arrested Víctor Zavala Cataño, accused of being the head of the PCP-SL's Planning and Annihilation Committee at the national level. This action was part of a series of arrests of the main leaders of the PCP-SL (such as Tito Valle Travesaño and Yovanka Pardavé of Socorro Popular), which led to the subsequent capture of Abimael Guzmán in September 1992.
