On this day, 28 June 1976, Elena Quinteros, Uruguayan teacher, anarchist and opponent of the military dictatorship was kidnapped from the grounds of the Venezuelan Embassy, having escaped military custody. A member of the Federación Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU), she escaped her army escort and jumped over the wall of the Embassy, asking for sanctuary. Embassy staff tried to help her but soldiers grabbed her and a tug-of-war ensued, in which her leg was broken. Finally the troops managed to drag her off and transport her to a military torture centre where she was “disappeared”. The Venezuelan ambassador demanded her return but it was refused, leading to a major diplomatic incident and resulting in Venezuela cutting off diplomatic ties with Uruguay.
