What statue is this in Athens near the Acropolis?

Question

Does anyone know who this statue is of?

I passed it at night and didn't get a good chance to read it carefully, but I thought I saw something on it about Bolivia or something.

I love how the statue’s face is pixelated =D

It's a statue of General Yannis Makriyannis. The location is on the intersection of Dionysiou Areopagitou and Vyronos Streets.

General Yannis Makriyannis

The inscription on the base of the statue mentions the General's name and years of life, sprayed over by some vandals.
