Indefinite strike called and led by the Huanuco Defense Front during June 1988. The strike was motivated by disagreements over the regionalization project that the government was implementing at that time. The protest was violently repressed by the forces of law and order. A UNMSM university student was killed by alleged police forces during a peaceful student protest related to the Cayara murders. As a consequence of the repression, more than 400 students were detained, which provoked more protest mobilizations in solidarity.
