June 19th marks the international proletarian holiday known as the Day of Heroism, which commemorates the sacrifice of revolutionary prisoners in Peru's El Frontón, Lurigancho, and Callao prisons, who refused to give in to the fascist Peruvian state's genocidal attempts to snuff out the People's War in that country by fighting back at the cost of their own lives. The occasion of remembering the sacrifice made not only by members of the PCP and its EGP (Exército Guerrillero Popular/People's Guerrilla Army) but revolutionary members of the Peruvian masses, is a somber but uplifting one, a day to honor those who gave their lives for the advancement of the international proletariat and remember that to give oneself to the struggle for freedom is never in vain.
