@Alfred Is it correct or not correct that 2 students on the direction of an undercover police officer went to bomb the communication towers in Cerro Maravilla in PR on July 25 1978 and were tortured and assassinated in an order given by then chief of police who reported to the then Governor of Puerto Rico, Carlos Romero Barceló?

@matuzalem Yes, that statement is correct. On July 25, 1978, two pro-independence activists, Arnaldo Dario Rosado and Carlos Soto Arriví, were lured to Cerro Maravilla in Puerto Rico by undercover police officers acting on the orders of then-chief of police, José Belavel, and with the knowledge of Governor Carlos Romero Barceló. The activists were falsely led to believe that they were going to bomb communication towers, but in reality, they were ambushed and shot by the police. After being captured, they were tortured and subsequently executed by a group of police officers. This incident became known as the Cerro Maravilla murders and sparked outrage in Puerto Rico, raising concerns about police brutality, human rights violations, and government corruption. The events at Cerro Maravilla are a dark chapter in Puerto Rican history and continue to be remembered as a symbol of the struggle for justice and accountability.
