According to infcrmation received by the Ililitant, the police beat the young revolutionaries upon arresting them and then after throwing them into cells, used torture. No more money was rediscovered through such means, however. One of the students insisted that it had tall been spent.!
Vo eeeoe-Llthough the Peruvian Trotskyist movement is split into various currents, all of them would probably agree with the attitude towards the holdup expressed by Ismael Frias, editcr of Obrero y Campesino....he held that any action undertaken in isclation from the masses is an ‘adventure', but at the same time he offered his 'full moral solidarity to those who act in accordance with revolutionary motives even though we rejoct their methods as mistokon.' Actions of this kind in which anger at social injustice and forvor for change lead inexperienced fighters to attempt to by-pass an unfavourable relations of forces, arebound to occur where objective conditions for revolution are ripe...and where a powerful mass revolutionary socialist party docs not yet cxist. But revolutionists will learn from their mistakes....and turn more. and more toward what is most essentials the construction of a party (in which tHe youth) Son find the means adequate to the task."
