Attack by the PCP-SL in Huancasancos during Corpus Christi
PCP-SL attacked Huancasancos during Corpus Christi killing eight people
On June 24, 1983, during the celebration of Corpus Christi, the PCP-SL took advantage of the celebration to attack Huancasancos. On the eve, an unspecified number of subversives violently entered the houses of the carguyuq, threw those present to the ground, beat them and stabbed them. Another group broke into the other houses, mistreating people and looting goods. When the subversives entered detonating dynamite, the chief captain of the police base went out to confront them and was killed. The subversives killed eight community members and left thirty wounded.
