Fire at CRAS Lurigancho

Thirty-two inmates of the Social Readaptation Center (CRAS) of Lurigancho died in a fire that occurred after a police repression. The event occurred in the context of the internal armed conflict and the growing presence of prisoners accused of terrorism in Lima's prisons. This incident is part of a series of violent events in prisons during the 1980s, culminating in the prison massacres of 1986.
