Rita Irene Wald Jaramillo

Rita Irene Wald Jaramillo was a 17-year-old student and activist who mysteriously disappeared on March 27, 1977, under the military dictatorship in Panama. Her case, emblematic of the human rights violations of that era, has remained unresolved for decades, leading to international attention and a commitment from the Panamanian government to investigate her disappearance.
