Susana Pintos

[1] Born in 1939, Susana grew up in the Curva de Maroñas [es] neighborhood, along with her parents and four siblings: Wilson, Olga, Elsa, and Nelson.

He governed under the constant approval of a constitutional expedient, the Swift Security Measures [es], which allowed for the suspension of individual rights.

He had been shot two days earlier, when the government ordered that a demonstration demanding free transportation for Uruguayan students be put down.

The government again responded with force; police had recently received a shipment of riot shotguns ordered from the United States, and they opened fire with these on demonstrators in the university's esplanade.

[1] Every 14 August, the name of Susana Pintos is one of those remembered as part of Student Martyrs Day, which commemorates the anniversary of the killing of Líber Arce.
