MRTA militants held at Castro Castro prison

MRTA militants held at Castro Castro prison for terrorism carry out a proselytizing action in front of their subversive group's flag. The country's prisons were not prepared to receive hundreds of terrorism detainees: their security levels and capacity were overwhelmed by the arrival of new inmates who, under the slogan of turning prisons into new fronts of struggle or "shining combat trenches," imposed their own control behind bars, planning and coordinating operations or staging demonstrations.
