Today is Truth and Justice Memorial Day in Argentina. It commemorates those who ‘disappeared’ under the military junta that came to power in 1976. This Argentinian public holiday is held on March 24th, the anniversary of the coup d’état of 1976 that overthrew President Isabel Peron and brought the National Reorganization Process to power. The coup installed the bloodiest dictatorship in the history of the country, led by General Jorge Rafael Videla, Admiral Emilio Eduardo Massera and Brigadier-General Orlando Ramón Agosti. At least 10,000 and as many as 30,000 were hunted down, tortured and ‘disappeared’ by security forces and right-wing death squads.
