Argentina: crime and punishment : Voice of Russia

Another six naval officers were sentenced to jail terms of 3 to 25 years.

The convicted officers were charged with jailing, torturing and murdering 69 people at naval bases in Mar-del-Plata.

Since 2003, when Argentina's Congress repealed several amnesty laws from the 1980s passed during democratic transition, which has protected officials from prosecution, hundreds of officials have been indicted.

According to NGO data, an estimated 30,000 people disappeared without trace during the eight-year military rule.
