Barragan walking back into court building STORYLINE: The case of a 30-year-old woman who is suing her adoptive parents for kidnapping, and who has become the first child of disappeared political prisoners to press such charges, continued on Thursday. The case opened in an Argentine court on Tuesday. Maria Eugenia Sampallo Barragan accused her adoptive parents Osvaldo Rivas and Maria Cristina Gomez Pinto of falsifying adoption documents to hide her identity. Thousands of leftists and dissidents vanished after being abducted by security forces during Argentina's 1976-1983 military regime, and human rights groups say more than 200 their children were taken and given to military or politically connected families to raise. Sampallo, who in 2001 learned that she is the daughter of missing political prisoners Mirta Mable Barragan and Leonardo Ruben Sampallo, is one of 88 young people who determined their identity with DNA tests coordinated by the human rights group Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Sampallo's mother was six months pregnant when she and her father were abducted on December 6, 1977, according to Sampallo's lawyer. He said Sampallo was born in February 1978, while her mother was being held at a clandestine torture centre. The case marks the first time a woman has taken her adoptive parents to court in Argentina. There have been at least three earlier trials involving suspected illegal adoptions dating to the dictatorship that resulted in convictions, but the plaintiffs were not the adopted children.

Demonstrators with placards behind police line outside courtroom STORYLINE: The trial of two former military officers charged with the 1976 kidnapping and disappearance of an Argentine senator has been postponed after one of the defendants was hospitalised for chest pains. Antonio Bussi, an 82-year-old former general, led military operations in Tucuman and eventually governed the province after the 1976 military coup. His co-defendant, Luciano Benjamin Menendez, 81, was commander of the regional Third Army Corps. Bussi was taken out of the courtroom on Tuesday on a gurney as dozens of people protested inside and outside the court. Bussi led "Operation Independence" in Tucuman in response to three decrees by Isabel Peron, then president and widow of strongman Juan Peron, which ordered the annihilation of political subversives throughout Argentina. Bussi said outside court that his father would demand the presence in court of Peron, who has challenged her extradition from Spain in other cases linked to the so-called "dirty war", since she gave the orders. Government estimates say more than 13-thousand people were killed in the crackdown on leftist dissidents before democracy was restored in 1983.

Julio Simon was sentenced to 25-years in prison. It was the first conviction since 1980s amnesty laws protecting former military and police officials accused of dictatorship-era atrocities was overturned by the Supreme Court last year. Simon was a sub-official of the Federal Police and was found guilty in the disappearance of Jose Poblete and his wife Gertrudis Hlaczik and taking away their daughter Claudia Victoria, who was just eight months old at the time. Poblete's mother Buscarita Roa said she was hoping Simon would speak in court. "I don't think he regrets it, but I hoped he would speak about things that were left unsaid and were never bought to light - that he would give names, what happened to my son, what happened to my daughter-in-law, where are the remains of my son and my daughter-in-law," she said. The Supreme Court last year declared laws pardoning military dictatorship officials, be they military or police, to be unconstitutional. Human rights group Mothers de Plaza de Mayo hailed the ruling as a victory, saying it marked a step towards obtaining justice after the 1976 to 1983 dictatorship. Prosecutors say the military rulers waged a systematic crackdown on dissidents which became known as Argentina's "Dirty War."

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/0425 IN_TIME: 19:01:29 // 19:51:58 - 20:38:02 - 21:30:44 LENGTH: 01:50 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: No access Internet FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Spanish/Nat Authorities have sealed off a cemetery in Argentina following the discovery there of 90 so-called "disappeared" victims of the Dirty War. The human remains had been buried outside Lomas de Zamora, just south of Buenos Aires, between 1976 and 1983. Their deaths, according to surviving documents, coincided with the deaths or disappearances of tens of thousands in Argentina at the hands of the military junta. Ninety bodies have been uncovered from unmarked graves in this town cemetery south of Buenos Aires. Nobody yet knows who they were. The evidence suggests these men and women were among the so-called "disappeared" victims of the Dirty War. In total, thousands vanished at the hands of a brutal military regime which ruled Argentina from 1976 until the mid eighties. The discovery after 23 years of these bodies in Lomas de Zamora is due to the newly appointed head in charge of this cemetery, Juan Hrchan, (pronounced Re-CHAN). His decision to identify the unmarked, untouched graves and push for an investigation has cost him dear. He now fears for his safety, should those still closely linked to the Dirty War decide to retaliate. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) "Walking among the grave stones over there, in section 28, the former (cemetery) director said to me, gesturing with his hand at various graves, that they should never be touched. I asked him why and he said they were forbidden and if that whole issue (of the disappeared) raised its head again, those old women (Mothers of the Disappeared) would be on our backs." SUPER CAPTION: Juan Hrchan, (pronounced Re-CHAN) Cemetery director Archive documentation of the burials, recorded in the early months of Argentina's military regime, provide important information which could lead to the individual identification of those buried here. They record the age and sex of each unidentified body and their date of burial. The estimated 90 bodies lie in a total of 60 graves. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) "When I located the burial spots, they were just of earth, no identification. So, I took the step, consulting first with the government, to identify all the unidentified graves." SUPER CAPTION: Juan Hrchan, Cemetery director It is thought the dead were previously prisoners held at the Pozo de Banfield concentration camp, which once stood very close by. The camp was one of the largest run by the dictatorship. It is not clear just how many people disappeared during the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Estimates range from ten thousand to 30-thousand. But few surviving relatives know what fate ultimately befell their loved ones. With this latest discover, it is possible a few more are about to learn.

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Estela de Carlotto, head of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo: "The case of Carla Graciela Rutila Artes, like many other cases of children stolen during the last military dictatorship in Argentina, is part of the well know Plan Condor. After 23 years Carla decided to come back to Argentina to testify against the person who took her as a daughter - the famous Dirty War criminal Eduardo Alfredo Ruffo - during the trial for Human Rights violations in the illegal detention centre in Buenos Aires known as Automotores Orletti." 7. Carlotto finishing her speech and applauded 8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Carla Graciela Rutila Artes, woman who testified in Dirty War trial: "It is like taking a bag off your back. The weight finally comes off. The fact that I have finally managed to meet face to face and visually with Ruffo and realise that he was not able to sustain me staring directly at him and could not look at my face, for me that is a reward difficult to imagine for anybody." 9. Mid of Carla Graciela Rutila Artes and Estela de Carlotto STORYLINE A woman who was taken from her parents during Argentina's last military dictatorship expressed relief on Thursday after testifying against her adoptive father, a former government intelligence agent who allegedly stole her as a toddler from her captive mother and then sexually abused her as a young girl. Carla Graciela Rutila Artes was the first person to have their real identity uncovered by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, an Argentinean group. She was kidnapped as a baby in 1976 with her mother in Bolivia, where her parents were fighting as leftist guerrillas with the National Liberation Army (ELN). Her father, Uruguayan Enrique Luca Lopez, was killed, and her mother, Argentine Graciela Rutila Artes, disappeared after being taken to a secret torture centre in Buenos Aires, the Automotores Orletti garage. Orletti was allegedly run by Eduardo Ruffo - the agent who adopted Rutila and gave her the name Gina. The former agent allegedly played a key role for Argentina in Plan Condor, an arrangement between South America's right wing dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s to hunt down leftist targets and deliver them to each other's security forces. She learned her true identity through a DNA test in 1985, after her grandmother Matilde Artes Company, an actress who was in Cuba when Argentina's 1976-1983 dictatorship began, went to the grandmothers' group for help. Ruffo wasn't arrested until 2006, when a judge found sufficient evidence to charge him with human rights violations. Rutila has lived in Spain with her grandmother since discovering her identity, always fearful of returning to Argentina. But with Ruffo in custody and on trial, she agreed to testify. She said on Thursday that staring him down in court provided her with some relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted. "The fact that I have finally managed to meet face to face and visually with Ruffo and realise that he was not able to sustain me staring directly at him and could not look at my face, for me that is a reward difficult to imagine for anybody," she said. Rutila not only testified that Ruffo and his wife Amanda Cordero had raised her - she also identified various people as members of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance, a paramilitary group sent out by the government to violently crack down on political dissidents before the 1976 coup. She knew them, she said, because they would come over to the house for family barbecues. She also testified that she saw weapons, money and objects stolen from people who had been detained during the dictatorship. And she said that from the age of three until she was rescued at 10, she suffered physical and even sexual abuse by Ruffo. Ruffo will have an opportunity to make a declaration later this year as the trial proceeds.
