Hugo Spadafora
Hugo Spadafora was a prominent Panamanian physician and political activist known for his opposition to the military dictatorship of Manuel Antonio Noriega in Panama. He became a symbol of resistance against human rights abuses under Noriega's regime. Spadafora was particularly vocal about the corruption and violence perpetuated by the government, advocating for democracy and justice. His mysterious disappearance in 1985, reportedly at the hands of Noriega's forces, highlighted the dangers faced by dissidents in Panama and drew international attention to the dire state of human rights in the country. His legacy continues to represent the struggle for freedom and justice in Central America.
