The Battle for Human Rights in Argentina: Truth, Justice and Memory

The Battle for Human Rights in Argentina: Truth, Justice and Memory

The military was in office in Argentina between 1976 and 1983, kidnapping, torturing and killing an estimated 30,000 of its own people. Thousands more fled into exile. Argentina is still a country coming to terms with this dark history: to find out what happened, who was responsible, where the bodies are buried. The survivors and the families of the victims want truth and justice. They also want to ensure that such horror is never again allowed to thrive - Nunca Mas! Never Again! It's a sentiment that rings even more strongly with a government in office that questions the extent of the horror and even tries to justify it. Joe and Daniel have, over the years, interviewed survivors, witnesses and torturers, visited the detention centres and attended the trials. They marched on 24 March - the day fifty years on from when the military took office and here discuss what that date means to them.
