Domingo Laíno

Domingo Isabelino Laíno Figueredo (born 8 July 1935) is a Paraguayan politician, economist, and activist.

[3][4] In December 1982, he was arrested, allegedly for painting anti-government slogans on walls;[5] he was subsequently deported to Argentina.

In April 1987, Laíno was finally allowed to return to Paraguay;[6][7] however, he continued his opposition to the Stroessner regime, leading to his being arrested again in September 1987[8] and February 1988.

Laíno ran for president in the two subsequent elections as well, but came second each time (losing to Juan Carlos Wasmosy in 1993, and to Raúl Cubas Grau in 1998).

In 1991, Liberal International named Laíno co-winner of that year's Prize For Freedom.
