Argentine Dirty Warriors jailed for life
From the BBC:
Two of the worst oppressors during Argentina’s military rule – known as the Dirty War – have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Antonio Bussi, 82, and Luciano Benjamin Menendez, 81, were sent to prison for the kidnapping and disappearance of a former senator in April 1976.
The two generals were senior members of the military government that ruled the country during the 1970s and 1980s.
During that time tens of thousands of people were tortured and killed.
