Tupamaros, also known as the
MLN-T (
Movimiento de Liberación Nacional-Tupamaros or Tupamaros National Liberation Movement), was a left-wing
urban guerrilla group in
Uruguay in the 1960s and '70s. The MLN-T is inextricably linked to its most important leader,
Raúl Sendic, and his brand of social politics.
José Mujica, who later became president of Uruguay, was also a member.
