About

The term "Dictadura Militar" refers to the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983, following a coup d'état. This regime is infamous for its systematic human rights violations, including illegal detentions, torture, forced disappearances, and the theft of babies from imprisoned mothers. The regime implemented a repressive plan with approximately 500 concentration camps. The 50th anniversary of the coup on March 24, 2026, has brought renewed attention to the period. Tens of thousands of people marched in Buenos Aires to commemorate the victims and demand accountability. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed and the ongoing struggle for justice and memory in Argentina. The events highlight the enduring impact of the dictatorship on Argentinian society and the importance of remembering the past to prevent future abuses.
