Ramón Acin Aquilué

Spanish militant anarcho-syndicalist, professor, writer and avant-garde artist. Involved with the CNT and imprisoned for his support of political prisoners.

During the Spanish coup of July 1936 Acín fought against the fascist-aligned military rebellion until he was forced to hide after Huesca was besieged by the nationalists. On 6 August 1936 Acín emerged from hiding in order to protect his wife and was executed. His wife Conchita was murdered seventeen days later, along with a hundred Republican soldiers.
