Biography
Graciany Miranda Marchand, a former president of the Puerto Rico Bar Association, was detained during the Vieques campaign against U.S. Navy operations. Contemporary AFP reporting and the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques identify Miranda among those arrested on May 13, 2000. A Sunday-night Vieques Libre update lists Miranda as still detained.
These sources establish arrest and overnight detention. They do not establish an individual custodial sentence, conviction or precise release date.
The Puerto Rico Bar Association’s 2017 annual report identifies him as its president from 1976 to 1978. El Nuevo Día reported his death in September 2016; the available report does not establish a consistent day of death.
