More than six hundred crimes against humanity made in the infamous Esma, the School firearm during the dictatorship (1976 - 1983) was used as a prison clandestino, teatro di orrori e delitti. Questa la pesante colpa che come se niente fosse Carlos Galián, ex soldato della marina, ha nascosto per trenta lunghi anni, conducendo in piena libertà una vita tranquilla e beata. Ma ogni nodo viene al pettine e finalmente, nell'Argentina che non dimentica, il giudice Sergio Torres ne ha ordinato la cattura. Conosciuto con lo pseudonimo di Pedro Bolita, era uno degli uomini più spietati di quella prigione della morte. Nonostante fosse un semplice sottufficiale, era fedele braccio destro dei repressori al comando del lager. A lui spettò il compito di piombare in piena notte in casa di centinaia e centinaia di giovani cosiddetti 'sovversivi', prelevarli con la forza e farli sparire forever, disappeared from the lives of mothers, fathers, family members. Yes, because once you enter the ESMA hardly came out alive. And death came slow and painful. Torture, physical and psychological and devastating in long days without the least respect of any human right. None. And finally death, which occurred in the most gruesome ways, and then dispose of the corpses through flybys over the Rio de la Plata.
With ruthless coldness and cruelty with which Pedro bolita used to work side by side Morrón Pedro and the two were so loyal in executing the orders of prison guards, all guards that have occurred in the school of terror have been then called Los Pedros. In their honor. In honor of that inhumanity only. The few survivors Esma told him, still shivering. But Pedro bolita also did more. It was responsible for their care of pregnant women hostage. And there are those who stated that as he tore newborn children from the arms of their mothers to bring them up for adoption to families loyal to the regime. There are dozens and dozens of infants to have had this fate. And the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo who know something. Mothers, then, were clearly made to disappear: desaparecidas as 30 thousand other people. This is because the number of victims that the bodies of the Argentine dictatorship in defense of human rights as far more realistic than the spread 18 thousand of the official calculations.
Esma is the case is among the most gruesome of those dark years: to be considered the biggest illegal imprisonment of a continent whose recent history is full of dictatorships and repression speaks volumes. From there I spent about five seized between 1977 and 1981, so that has been elected as the ideal location for the memorial museum, the place where you do not forget that none of this happens again.
In Argentina, only with the abolition of the laws of Obediencia Debida and Punto Final, the so-called laws of forgiveness, in 2003 we were able to prosecute those responsible, namely, those thousands of repressors, which until then had lived impunity and without changing a comma of his life. Each of them has finally called in these days to sit at the bar, wearing the watchful eye and stringent in the world. The public trial is in fact began on Thursday the 18th, just days before the Day of Memory for Truth and Justice, which is celebrated today, March 24. Many celebrations in memory of the disappeared of the dictatorship, and also lots of complaints and requests for clarification in another case that speaks volumes about the degree of reconciliation reached by Argentine Julio López, a witness in the trial of Miguel Etchecolatz , former Commissioner of Buenos Aires and then sentenced to life imprisonment, it disappeared right in day that was to be heard by the prosecution. It was September 18, 2006. Since then, nothing much has been said that the first desaparecido of the republic.
Argentina remains much to do before you re-create a peaceful society and unity in the approach with a past both heavy and cool. The executioners of the past are still alive and kicking more than accomplices, also in civil society. Just yesterday evening, the protest of human rights and social organizations outside the headquarters of the Clarin Group, a leader in the field of mass communication. With torches and banners, the demonstrators wanted to denounce the continuing obstacles that the director general of this media empire, Ernestina Herrera de Noble, is disseminating research to deflect the real identity of his two sons. Too many coincidences to make Abuelas assume that these are two of those children taken away from mothers seized during the regime. A protest against choral So what are termed 'civilian accomplices repressors. It is known that the direction of Clarin struck a deal with the dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, who in turn handed it to Clarin and La Nacion that the company Papel Prensa still possess.
So far, there are four processes on cases reopened after 2003 and concluded the three were convicted former police officer Julio Simon said el turkish Julián, Miguel Etchecolatz, and former military chaplain Christian Von Wernich . Thursday was instead sitting on the witness stand, the former prefect Hector Febres, Selva said it was contained in his whole being of its wild beasts. A complaint, certain of the few survivors Lordkipanidse Carlos, Carlos Garcia, Josefa de Olivieri and Alfredo Prada Margari. The allegations are in fact to have them seized and tortured. And who knows how many others like them.
addition to this first trial of a member of the Esma, there is a fifty perpetrators awaiting trial because they already tried. Findings that is continually postponed. And the fear is that the same happens in case the Esma, becoming 'endless'. The imputati sono tutte persone anziane e in quanto tali gli appigli per rinviare all'infinito le udienze non mancano.
