In Uruguay, support is growing to repeal amnesty for military officials over rights abuses committed under the 1973-1985 military regime. This week the Uruguayan Supreme Court ruled the law is unconstitutional. Uruguayans will vote on repealing it in a referendum as part of Sunday’s national elections. On Tuesday, thousands of people marched in Montevideo in support of the repeal.

Uruguayan author and journalist Eduardo Galeano: “We believe that our country has shown in the first years of the Frente Amplio party being in office that we are no longer that country that was paralyzed by fear.”
