A historic trial on the theft of babies as "systematic plan" under the Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983) opened Monday, February 28 in Buenos Aires. Two former dictators Jorge Videla, 85, and Reynaldo Bignone, 83, are on the dock alongside six other military Santiago Omar Riveros, Ruben Oscar Franco, Antonio Vanek, Jorge Luis Magnacco, Juan Antonio and Jorge Azic "Tiger" Acosta.
"We were spoils of war regime," said the courthouse entrance Fosatti Leonardo, 33. He was one of the babies were stolen and found his identity through the research of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Members of organizations defending human rights, including HIJOS (Sons and daughters of the disappeared), sang and waved flags in front of the court.
Some five hundred babies were stolen in total in clandestine detention centers and torture, including the Graduate School of marine engineering (ESMA). Most often, the baby was handed to a member or relative of a soldier while the mother was thrown into the sea, naked and alive, a military aircraft in flight.
