Well now I’m depressed

Today was National Memory, Truth and Justice Day in Argentina, where we commemorate the victims of the dictatorship that lasted from 1976 to 1983.

During this dictatorship, the illegal government would kidnap people who were dissidents and "disappear" them. They were often sent in what is known as "flights of death": they would be dropped off planes towards the Rio de La Plata and the Atlantic Ocean.

It's not clear how many people were disappeared during the process: some people say eight thousand, others say it's thirty thousand, but in reality it could be an even bigger number and we would never know.

Thankfully, Argentina set an example of justice world-wide by being the first country on Earth to actually judge and convict their dictators in civil courts (not military courts, where they'd have most likely walked away free and be judged by their own peers). But still so many lives were lost, and many babies kidnapped and given to other families.

Same thing happened in Chile. 🥲
