As Uruguayans commemorate the disappeared in their annual March of Silence, political pressure mounts to account for the atrocities of Operation Condor.
Thousands of Uruguayans marched through the streets of Montevideo on Saturday evening marking the 28th March of Silence to remember the missing persons victims of the last military dictatorship (1973-1984). With signs reading “Where are they?” and “Never again State Terrorism” the demonstrators insisted on their demands for Justice. Around noon Saturday, a tribute was also held at the memorial of the disappeared detainees in the Cerro neighborhood.
