Boanerges de Souza Massa
Boanerges de Souza Massa (born January 7, 1938 – disappeared June 21, 1972) was a Brazilian physician who joined the resistance against the military dictatorship. He was the field surgeon of the National Liberation Action (Portuguese: Ação Libertadora Nacional, ALN) founded by Carlos Marighella. After the police liquidated Marighella, he went to Cuba to take guerilla courses and co-founded the People's Liberation Movement (Portuguese: Movimento de Libertação Popular Brasileiro, MOLIPO). The army captured him in 1971 in Pindorama and he disappeared shortly thereafter. 25 years later, the Brazilian government officially acknowledged its responsibility.
