Jyri Antero Jaakkola (February 11, 1977 – April 27, 2010) was a Finnish human rights activist.

He was on his way to San Juan Copala, a village of indigenous Trique people that has declared itself autonomous, as a human rights observer when he was shot dead by UBISORT, a paramilitary organization connected to Institutional Revolutionary Party.

In the attack Alberta Cariño, an activist for the local organization CACTUS, was also shot dead and more than ten people were wounded.

He was involved with S/V Estelle, a sailboat operated on fair trade principles,[1] and sailed to Angola with the ship in 2002.

[3] In September 2022, four of ten arrested suspects were set free; the case was declared as finished due to the lack of proof.
