María Cristina Picón
María Cristina Picón, widow of Captain Humberto Viola, became a prominent figure in the fight for justice following the tragic assassination of her husband and their daughter during a 1974 attack by the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (ERP). She dedicated her life to advocating for recognition of the attack as a crime against humanity, seeking justice for the victims and holding the Argentine state accountable for its failure to protect its citizens during the brutal military dictatorship. Despite her passing in 2021, her legacy continues through her surviving daughter, María Fernanda Viola, who carries on the quest for truth and justice.
