In 1962 there was a crackdown against FLP, and around a hundred FLP militants were detained by police.[1]
In 1969 a student and member of the FLP, Enrique Ruano Casanova, was killed by the political police while he was arrested, causing a wave of demonstrations and strikes in the universities of Spain. Due to the protests the Regime declared the State of exception on the 24 of January 1969.
