• The repression unleashed by agents of the General Directorate of Police (DIGEPOL), members of the National Guard (GN), officials of the Judicial Technical Police (PTJ) and pickets of the Municipal Police against the student population, left numerous casualties among children, young people and adults. The partial list of dead and gunshot wounds admitted to health centers was as follows:
  • Lucia Vaamonde.
  • Albertina Nunez.
  • Moses Melendez Ochoa.

  • Antonio Henry Rojas.
