He was a founder of the Communist Youth Union and leader of the National Liberation Movement (Tupamaros) (MLN-T) and in 1972 was arrested and tortured. After the coup of 1973 he was held "hostage" with eight more prisoners. After twelve years in prison, he was released in 1985. He has written several books. One of them, El regreso del Gran Tuleque, inspired the film El chevrolé. His 12-year tenure in prison with Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro and José Mujica was the basis for the film A Twelve-Year Night.

He lives in Montevideo.
