Sofia Elena Reyes Gutiérrez (born 1728 AN) is a New Alexandrian student activist who became a prominent figure in the Movement for University Freedom after she was injured during Operation Faun, the Federal Gendarmerie's VII.1750 AN crackdown on university campuses. Reyes, then a third-year philosophy student at the Royal University of Parap, was among 47 students detained during the 10.VII raids. During her arrest, a mounted gendarme used a lasso to subdue her, causing injuries that required hospitalization.[1] Photographs of the incident circulated widely on social media and drew condemnation from opposition politicians, civil liberties organizations, and some members of the governing Federal Humanist Party.
Reyes was discharged from hospital in X.1750 AN and announced through her attorney, Marco Delgado, that she would file a civil lawsuit against the Federal Gendarmerie seeking damages for excessive force and civil rights violations.[2] The lawsuit names the Federal Gendarmerie and several individual officers. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for II.1751 AN. Reyes has been embraced as a symbol by the Movement for University Freedom, though she holds no formal leadership position in the organization. She has made limited public statements since her discharge, with Delgado handling media inquiries on her behalf. Government officials have declined to comment on pending litigation.
