The Life and Disappearance of Guerrilla Doctor Pedro Chiclayo
The Dirty War in Mexico (1970s) saw brutal human rights violations by the government. One victim group was the September 23 Communist League, a leftist organization.
One of the episodes with the highest number of human rights violations in the history of Mexico was the Dirty War. During the 1970s, a series of crimes against humanity were carried out, in which hundreds of people were disappeared, tortured and murdered at the hands of the Federal Directorate of Security (DFS). One of the main victim groups of this institution was the September 23 Communist League, which carried out a set of actions in which hundreds of activists participated in their search for a social revolution in Mexico. For example, Dr. Pedro Miguel Morón Chiclayo.
Pedro Miguel Morón Chiclayo was born on October 8, 1947, in Chiclayo, Peru. Initially, he studied two years of Economics and Administration at the University of San Marcos, Peru, where he began to sympathize with leftist ideas upon his admission. However, what he was really passionate about was medicine, so, in 1966, he decided to travel to Mexico City to enter the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and study it.
