Promulgation of Repentance Law
Repentance Law provoked mass disclosures by detained students
The 'Repentance Law' was enacted in May 1992, immediately after the self-coup, although it was regulated a year later. Through pressure, many detained students named names, many of them perhaps innocent. This law had a great impact on the mass arrests and wreaked havoc in the MRTA ranks.
