On October 10, 1995 in the Lushan Central Square of Mirzak, troops from the Corummese Armed Forces and BSP opened fire and killed thousands of student demonstrators. While the government struggled to destroy the Communist Party of Corumm and its armed wing, the emergence of a unified student protest movement was seen as a second front and existential threat that had to be contained at all costs. The Lushan Square Massacre alternatively called the Butchering of the Piglets and the 1995 Special Enforcement was a key event in the consolidation of power by the Party of Corummese Democrats, crushing the student protest movement and making it clear that peaceful opposition to the government would no longer be tolerated.
