On this day, 16 April 1979, Nicaraguan revolutionary Idania Fernández was murdered in custody by troops of the US-backed Somoza dictatorship. She had been betrayed by an informant. However, her death inspired more to take up resistance and within a month the regime was overthrown. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1695912063927270/?type=3
