Taty Almeida, a leading figure of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Línea Fundadora, died on Sunday, June 14, at the age of 95 in Buenos Aires.
The activist had been hospitalized for three weeks at Hospital Italiano, where her health deteriorated in recent hours. She died accompanied by her family.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1930 as Lidia Estela Mercedes Miy Uranga, Taty Almeida began her activism after the disappearance of her son Alejandro Almeida, who was abducted by the Triple A on June 17, 1975.
Madres de Plaza de Mayo confirmed the death via its official channels and stated: “Thanks for teaching us that to love is to resist, that the only fight that is lost is the one that is abandoned and that there is no force greater than that of love”.
