In Argentina, the International Day of the Disappeared was commemorated on Thursday at a rally in Buenos Aires. Human rights groups say 30,000 people either died or were abducted under Argentina’s military dictatorship in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This is Tati Almeida, member of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.

Tati Almeida: “I carry Alejandro here [pointing to her heart], and this wound will never close. They say that time closes wounds, but that is a lie. Each day they open more. Each day I miss Alejandro more. He was 20 years old. He had so much to live for, so much to give. They did not give him life; they snatched it away from him. They snatched away the life of all of those that are here, all 30,000 of them.”
