	Paraguay - The Stroessner Regime
		The son of an immigrant German brewer and a Paraguayan woman, Alfredo Stroessner was born in Encarnación in 1912.
		Stroessner took a hard line from the beginning in his declaration of a state of siege, which he renewed carefully at intervals prescribed by the constitution.
		Stroessner's response was to employ the state's virtually unlimited power by giving a free hand to the military and to Minister of Interior Edgar Ynsfrán, who began to harass, terrorize, and occasionally murder family members of the regime's foes.
