On July 7, 1998, Army soldiers vacated the university campus of the National University of Central Peru (UNCP) in Huancayo. This military intervention took place in the context of years of political violence at the university, where both the PCP-SL and the MRTA had carried out proselytizing and armed propaganda activities since the late 1970s. Between 1990 and 1992, the UNCP had been the scene of numerous disappearances and extrajudicial executions of students, teachers and workers allegedly linked to subversive groups. Military disengagement was part of the counter-subversive measures implemented in the region during the 1990s.
