Lil Milagro de la Esperanza Ramírez Huezo Córdoba (April 3, 1946 – October 17, 1979) was a Salvadoran poet and revolutionary leader, a founding member of the first guerrilla organizations that would come together in 1980 to form the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN).
In 1971, she appeared as part of a small movement called simply "El Grupo," which formed the core of the organization that in March 1972 would become the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP), amid a turbulent electoral process.
Professor Manuel Rivera, a member of the executive council of the National Salvadoran Association of Educators (ANDES 21 de junio), is also captured and killed, receiving two bullets; Lil, on the other hand, gets shot in the head but survives.
She remained in these prisons, living under extreme, inhumane conditions,[5] until she was murdered on October 17, 1979, two days after the coup d'état that overthrew President Carlos Humberto Romero and placed the Junta Revolucionaria de Gobierno in power.
[6][7] Lil Milagro de la Esperanza Ramírez Huezo Córdoba is one of the many martyrs left by the violent Salvadoran Civil War, which ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accords signed on January 16, 1992, more than 12 years after her death.
