Cecilia Mujica Explained

Cecilia Mujica (died 1813), nicknamed The Martyr of Freedom, is a Venezuelan heroine noted for her support for the country's independence and her work with the independence forces. She was known as a propagandist.[1] Born in San Felipe, she was the daughter of the loyalist, Martín de Mújica who had been a victim of the devastating earthquake of 1812.[2] In 1811, she became engaged to Enrique de Villadonga.[3]

After a death decree was issued by Simon Bolívar in 1813,[4] she was executed by firing squad during the Venezuelan War of Independence by Spanish forces in Los Zunzunes, Yaracuy.[5]
