On September 16, 1973, Luis Eduardo SAAVEDRA GONZALEZ, 24 years old, a photographer and folklorist, was executed.

On the 16th of that month, he was detained, along with other people, during an operation carried out by military personnel in the Yarur neighborhood, where he resided.

The family learned of his death upon going to the Legal Medical Institute, where they identified Saavedra's body. The autopsy report indicates that the body was sent from the Yarur neighborhood and that the cause of death was gunshot wounds. The date of death is the same as the date of his detention.

The Commission formed the conviction that the victim was executed by State agents in violation of his fundamental rights, particularly because his detention was sufficiently proven, as were the certified causes of his death and the location where it occurred.
