#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember the victims of the La Cantuta massacre, one of the crimes against humanity for which US-backed far-right former president Alberto Fujimori is in prison.
On July 18, 1992, the paramilitary organization of the Peruvian army, Grupo Colina, kidnapped, tortured, and killed nine students and a teacher of the Universidad Nacional de Educación Enrique Guzmán y Valle, an educational institution in the La Cantuta sector of Lima.
In retaliation for an attack by the militant group Sendero Luminoso, the Peruvian army attacked La Cantuta University, which was a stronghold of leftist groups. In later trials, it was proved that none of the victims had any connections to militant groups.
Over 30 years later, families haven't been able to find the bodies of all the victims. People continue to fight for justice, truth and reparations.

“What is the path that we are going to chart towards socialism?” This is the question that animated the first day of the ‘Dilemmas of Humanity: Pan African Dialogues to Build Socialism’ conference.
Bringing together nearly 40 progressive peoples’ movements and organizations from across Africa, the four-day event is underpinned by a consensus — “that capitalism has no solutions for the problems that confront humanity.”

Human-made climate change is the culprit as the emission of heat-trapping gasses continues to ramp up temperatures worldwide.
It is, as always, the working class who suffers most.
A new state law in Texas, one of the states most impacted by this week’s heat waves, will eliminate mandatory water breaks for construction workers, effective September 1.
