On the 49th anniversary of Argentina's 1976 military coup, thousands rallied in Buenos Aires to honor victims and push for justice for the estimated 30,000 who disappeared or were killed during the subsequent dictatorship. The gathering included prominent human rights groups like the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. While official figures claim 12,000 were victimized, activists assert the number is much larger. The current government, led by President Javier Milei, has minimized these atrocities but has initiated the declassification of military documents previously used for political leverage.
On the 49th anniversary of Argentina's 1976 military coup, thousands gathered in Buenos Aires to honour victims and demand justice.
Human rights groups, including the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, marched to demand justice for the estimated 30,000 people who were killed or forcibly disappeared.
President Javier Milei's government has downplayed the junta's crimes but ordered the declassification of military documents, claiming past administrations used them as political tools.
Official figures list 12,000 victims, but activists argue the true number is far higher.
