Pedro Huilca

Pedro Huilca was a prominent Peruvian labor leader and secretary general of the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP) who was assassinated on December 18, 1992, during Alberto Fujimori's presidency. His murder, attributed to the Shining Path terrorist group, is considered a significant event in the history of labor rights and human rights in Peru. Huilca's death highlighted the violent repression faced by dissenters during the internal conflict in Peru, and his case continues to be emblematic of the struggles for justice regarding human rights abuses committed during that era.
