On this day in 1946, a group of labor organizers in Santiago, Chile were gunned down by police while holding a solidarity rally in Plaza Bulnes. Six were killed and several more were wounded. Among the workers killed was Ramona Parra Alarcón, a young communist activist who became an icon for the victims of this massacre.

After the incident, the Communist Party of Chile withdrew from the government. The next year, the concentration camp Pisagua (formerly used for detaining citizens of enemy nations during WWII) was re-opened, and a period of open state persecution of communists and anarchists began.
