Attempted attack on Q'enqoro prison
Failed attempt by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso to attack the Q'enqoro prison in Cuzco to free detained militants. The attack was repulsed by the police.
On October 27, 1994, militants of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso tried to attack the Q'enqoro prison again in order to free their detained militants. This attempt took place in a context of desperation of the subversive group, after in August of the same year several of its militants began to take advantage of the Law of Repentance. The attack was repulsed by the police forces guarding the prison. This failed attempt occurred more than a year after the successful attack of March 28, 1993, when 31 subversive members of the PCP-SL and MRTA managed to escape.
