Diego Jorge Lavado
HRD, Lawyer
As a lawyer, Dr Diego Lavado has represented victims in the third Mendoza trial for crimes against humanity. Together with other local lawyers, he has also been a strong opponent of inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners in Mendoza's penitentiary institutions. For this reason, he and a number of other fellow lawyers have been the victims of threats and intimidation on a number of previous occasions.
