Enrique Angelelli
Enrique Angelelli was an Argentine bishop and a prominent figure in the Catholic Church known for his outspoken advocacy for human rights during Argentina's military dictatorship in the 1970s. He was a vocal critic of the regime's repressive actions and actively supported the poor and marginalized. Angelelli's commitment to social justice made him a target for the military government, leading to his assassination in 1976.
