Keywords:
Dictatorship; Alfredo Stroessner; Political opponents; Human Rights; Paraguay; Semillero de Derechos Humanos; Universidad AmericanaAbstract
This article covers two aspects that are divided into the formation of the Human Rights Seedbed of the Faculty of Law of the American University (Semillero), as well as in the decision and execution of starting a research project after the visits of two museums: Museum of Memories and Museum of Justice, both related to human rights violations during the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner. In this context, this work describes the research work that has been carried out regarding the description, fundamentally, of the persecution and deprivation of liberty of public opponents during this period, mainly, through the information found in the Museum of Justice. The decision to carry out this challenge has strengthened not only the participation of students as researchers but also the importance of memory, truth and justice as fundamental elements of Democracy in terms of academic awareness.
