Argentinian grandmothers fight for justice - 24 Mar 08

Argentina is marking the 32nd anniversary of a military coup that ushered in one of Latin America's most brutal regimes.
Among the protestors marking the anniversary were a group of women who call themselves the Grandmothers of Plaza de Maya.
They're fighting to find the babies of political prisoners who were taken away by members of the military during Argentina's dirty war. Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports.

ENRIQUETA ESTELA BARNES de CARLOTTO:

A fines de 1977 denuncia la desaparición de Laura Estela Carlotto (montonera, nombre de guerra Rita), sin mencionar ningún estado de embarazo. (Esto consta en el Legajo CONADEP, caso número 2085, incorporado formalmente al expediente de la causa judicial iniciada por el juez Bagnasco).

En agosto del 78 le fue entregado el cadáver de esa hija. Según sus dichos, la entrega del cuerpo fue algo inusual: lo entregaron el mismo día de su muerte.

"Corruption is also rife in government."

Government = corruption, in all languages and in all countries.

I absolutely love Argentina! This organic movement for justice during the junta is testament to the people of the country.

Unfortunately the role of the military is still as pervasive as ever, their families represent the socio-economic elite of its society and the government treads carefully so as not to offend.

Corruption is also rife in government.
