A new development has been reported today by BBC regarding the trial of Miguel Etchecolatz. Apparantly one of the witnesses, Jorge Julio Lopez, 77, went missing one day before the conviction last week of Etchecolatz. Buenos Aires provincial minister of government commented on Identidad radio, "Everything makes us believe his disappearance had something to do with [the trial]."
Though at this time there is no conclusion to Lopez's whereabouts, this could end up be a strong reminder that the repressive workings and ideology of a dictatorship still have a lingering affect on Argentine society. Though "El Proceso" ending 23 years ago, there are still supporters of that regime that are very much still young and able to actively take part in human rights violations -- such as the popular method of "disappearing" people.
