Trial of Argentine Dictatorship Commander Set for Oct 18

Buenos Aires, Sep 7 (Prensa Latina) The first Argentine dictatorship
repressor will go to trial October 18 for crimes against humanity
perpetrated at ESMA (Navy Engineering School), between 1976 and 1983,
judicial authorities announced on Friday.

Ex commander Hector Febres will be in the dock of the oral court of
Federal Five (TOF5) to face charges of kidnapping Carlos Lordkipanidse,
Carlos Garcia, Josefa Prada de Olivieri and Alfredo Margari, who were
kept at the underground ESMA torture center.

Febres case is the first in the trials of ESMA repressors that Federal
Judge Sergio Torres is hearing and Judge Daniel Rafecas will try those
of the First Army Corps, all of which are estimated to take
approximately two years.

Human rights organizations affirm that some 30,000 people were executed
during the so-called National Reorganization Process of the military
regime and no less than 4,000 of them were tortured and murdered in
ESMA.
