Ramón Aquino
Ramón Aquino (June 10, 1934 - April 1, 2015) was a Paraguayan far-right politician from the Colorado Party, known as the leader of the ''Garroteros'' militia during the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner.

Background Alfredo Stroessner, a general and veteran of the Paraguayan Civil War and the Chaco War, came to power in the aftermath of the 1954 coup d'état. Soon after taking office, he declared a "state of siege" and instituted a number of laws and security reforms which gave him the power to suspend civil liberties, including ''habea ...
