Promulgation of decree law 25880 on apology of terrorism against teachers

Enactment of law on the apology of terrorism with life imprisonment for teachers

On November 26, 1992, Decree Law 25880, the law on the apology of teaching terrorism, was enacted. Article 1 established that the teacher or professor who, taking advantage of his or her condition, influences his or her students by advocating terrorism would be considered as the author of the crime of treason, and would be punished with the maximum penalty of life imprisonment. This law became a threat to teachers and its application was a real witch hunt.
