ARGENTINA & URUGUAY: A judicial ruling that crosses borders
People gathered in front of a big screen set up in the garden of the Argentine embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay, as if they were getting ready to watch one of the latest productions of the expanding Argentine film industry. Instead, they were gathering to watch the judicial conclusion of one of the most sinister episodes in recent South American history: four members of the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) were sentenced to up to 25 years in prison for their involvement in the kidnapping, torture and murder of dozens of Argentines and Uruguayans who were illegally detained at the Orletti car dealership in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
