Alfredo Bravo
Alfredo Bravo (30 April 1925 26 May 2003) was an Argentine Socialist politician, teacher, leader of the teachers' union CTERA, human rights fighter, and legislator.
Bravo was born in Concepcion del Uruguay, Entre Rios Province. He studied in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province, and became a teacher at 18. He settled in a rural town in the north of Santa Fe Province, which he left when he was drafted. He moved to Buenos Aires afterwards, where he joined the union movement.
On 8 September 1977, about a year and a half after the coup d'etat that started the dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process, Bravo was kidnapped by a government task force while he was teaching. He remained "disappeared" until 20 September, and was only released in 1979. During his detention he was tortured, which left him with vascular damage in his legs. Bravo recognized Buenos Aires Provincial Police officer Miguel Etchecolatz and General Ramon Camps as his torturers.
