Pedro Rodríguez Peralta
Pedro Rodríguez Peralta was a Cuban volunteer who played a significant role in the military assistance to the PAIGC during the Guinean liberation struggle. He was captured by Portuguese paratroopers on November 18, 1969, and later became a symbol of the Cuban involvement in the conflict, despite official Cuban denials of military support. Peralta was imprisoned for ten years, and his capture highlighted the complexities of international support in the fight against colonialism.
