The president of the association Madres de Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini, died on Sunday at the age of 93, according to Argentine media.
Bonafini is the mother of two children who disappeared during the dictatorship and for decades was an activist and human rights defender within the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.
She had been discharged on October 13 after three days in the Italian Hospital in the city of La Plata for medical check-ups, reports the Argentine news agency Télam.
She founded the association Mothers of Plaza de Mayo to make visible the disappearance of people during the last dictatorship, although it evolved into an organization with a clear political profile.
«We are a political organization, now with a national and popular project of liberation,» Bonafini herself emphasized.
