Mario Ocampos

Mario Ocampos was a Paraguayan student and activist who, during the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, was involved in a reading group that explored the educational philosophies of Paulo Freire. His participation in this subversive group led to his arrest and torture by the military regime, particularly during a brutal crackdown on perceived dissent. Recently, Ocampos was mentioned in the context of Carlos Martini's return to their former school, Cristo Rey, reflecting on the traumatic impact of their youthful activism.
