Approval of unconstitutional amnesty laws
Approval of amnesty laws that freed military personnel convicted of crimes against humanity
The government headed by Alberto Fujimori approved the unconstitutional amnesty laws No. 26479 and No. 26492, which freed members of the security forces sentenced for crimes against humanity and prohibited any jurisdictional investigation. The citizenry mobilized massively against these laws, led by university youth who assumed a vanguard role in the struggle for the recovery of democracy.
