On August 7, 1986, the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) held its second clandestine press conference. This event took place in a context of intense subversive activity and state repression, just two months after the tragic events in the Lima and Callao prisons in June 1986. The conference was part of the MRTA's communications strategy to publicize its political positions and vindicate its armed actions. The event took place in the midst of a state of emergency in Lima and Callao, and in a period of multiple attacks and armed actions by subversive groups.
