On December 15, 1988, following the signature of an agreement with the Government, Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní received death threats from a group of persons who identified themselves as members of the Peruvian Communist Party-Sendero Luminoso, who arrived suddenly, while he was with other miners in a camp they had set up on the campus of the Universidad de San Marcos.30 According to the testimony of Ulises Cantoral Huamaní before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, “the members of Sendero Luminoso who had rebuked Saúl Cantoral for lifting the strike […] ceased their threats when they heard the final report that Saúl presented to the Federation.”31 63.
