André Conte

André Bolívar Conte Sánchez (April 25, 1995) is a Panamanian technologist, programmer, human rights and environmental activist. He has been a prominent figure in many mass protests against corruption in Panamá. He ran as an independent candidate for deputy in the National Assembly for the 8-8 circuit in the 2019 elections.

Conte was arrested in January 2021 for allegedly being the leader of Anonymous Panamá, hacking the Panamanian National Police's computer servers and making a Denial-of-Service attack on the Ministry of Education's website.

He was in prison, house arrest, and under country arrest for nearly three years without permission to access internet during the investigations, until he was acquitted of all charges. He is currently free and has returned to giving talks on cybersecurity and internet freedom.
