fabulous mass upsurge of the previous
years.
He was the founding leader of the
Federaci6én Departamental de Campesinos de
Cuzco.
He endured long years in prison
because of the accusations of the over-
seer Romainville. He was tried [in absen-
tia] in connection with the La Convencién
gene and subsequently captured in May

The state's demand for a 22-year
prison sentence for him hung over his
head. He was set free in Tacna in Septem-
ber 1966. We demand his immediate re-
lease.
