Huaycan mobilization repressed by police left one dead and one handicapped person
The residents of Huaycán carried out a mobilization that was harshly repelled by the police with tear gas and counter-demonstration vehicles. One of the vehicles ran over two neighbors, killing Rafael Flores Echevarría and leaving Luis handicapped. In addition, the police arrested between 200 and 300 demonstrators. A few days later, President Alan Garcia summoned Mayor Jorge Del Castillo to give the green light to Huaycan's demands.
