HeadlineMar 25, 2010

In Argentina, thousands of people rallied in Buenos Aires on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 1976 coup that launched a seven-year military dictatorship. The date is marked every year as Truth and Justice Memorial Day, with calls to probe unsolved disappearances and prosecute former military officials. Argentine President Cristina Fernández addressed with a crowd with a pledge to pursue justice.

Argentine President Cristina Fernández: “Allow me to make a commitment in front of you, in front of all of you, in front of all Argentines, that if we do not get justice in Argentina, as president, I will take it to other international courts to get justice.”
