Elena Quinteros (September 9, 1945, in Montevideo – missing from 1976) was a Uruguayan anarchist and school teacher.[1] Quinteros was last seen in the 300 Carlos detention center during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay.[2] She tried to escape asking for help in the Venezuelan embassy, but she was taken by force near the entrance. A few days later she was tortured and killed.[3] Because of this, Venezuela broke off diplomatic relations with Uruguay until democracy was restored in 1985. There was an investigation in the mid-2000s into the disappearance of Quinteros and others.[2]
The School Nº 181 changed its name to Elena Quinteros School.[4]
