Terror in S. America

* 1992, the "Archives of Terror" (Archivos del
Terror) were found by a lawyer, Dr. Martín Almada,
and a human-rights activist and judge, Jose
Agustin Fernandez, in a police station in a suburb
of Asuncion (Lambare), capital of Paraguay.
Fernández was looking for files on a former
prisoner. Instead, he found archives describing
the fates of thousands of Latin Americans who had
been secretly kidnapped, tortured, and killed by
the security services of Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay
