Do you remember (or have you read about) Argentina’s Dirty War – from 1974 to 1983 – where the military dictatorship “disappeared” over 30,000 people, killing mothers and gifting their babies to top military brass for adoption?
This is not border control. It’s a crime against humanity – intentionally disappearing babies and toddlers – effectively turning them into orphans.
In international human rights law, an enforced disappearance occurs when a person is secretly abducted by a state, political organization, or by a third party. Reports from human rights groups … have cited up to 30,000 cases of enforced disappearances since the start of the Dirty War.” – guides.library.duq.edu/disappearedpersons/Argentina
In Argentina, the criminality continued for nearly a decade. Activists, journalists, students, writers, poets, playwrights and non-activists tossed into prisons for sentiments against the regime (or for nothing at all). Thrown out of airplanes. Raped. Tortured.
Remember Argentina.
