After the Labor Party came to power in 1946, the country’s economy underwent major changes. After his death in 1974, the situation spiraled out of control.
After the military seized power in 1976, the party waged a dirty war until 1982. At that time the right to free speech was taken away.
All those who criticized the army rule had to face a lot of pressure. Leftist political activists, students were not cared about.
