LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Dr. Arnulfo Arias, M.D. '25, prominent suspect in connection with last Sunday's assassination of Panamanian President Jose Antonio Remon, is the second Harvard graduate to have attempted a Central American revolution by violence. Pedro Albizu y Campos '16, Puerto Rican Nationalist, was an organizer of the shootings in the House of Representatives last March.
Arias was made President of Panama in 1949 by Remon, then head of the National Police and acknowledged political boss of the republic.
