COUNTRY: ARGENTINA
SUB: CONTINUING HIGH CONCERN WITHIN SECURITY SERVICES OVER
REVELATIONS OF EXCESSES COMMITTED DURING THE ANTI-SUSERSIVE
CAMPAIGN
2 ON tO APRIL 1983
THERE WAS GREAT CONCERN WITHIN
SIDE OVER REVELATIONS OF SECRET DETENTION AND TORTURE CENTERS THAT
HAD EXISTED IN ARGENTINA. I THE CONCERN WAS
BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE REVELATIONS WERE CORRECT IN THEIR
.LOCATION Of THE CENTERS AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF.PERSONS INVOLVED:
THIS HAS LED SIDE PERSONNEL TO SUSPECT THAT 'SOMEONE WITHIN SIDE
IS TRYING TO INGRATIATE HIMSELF WITH THE COMING CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT
BY MAKING AVAILABLE THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. I In
ADDED THAT SOME OF THE LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED AS "TORTURE CENTERS"
HAD ACTUALLY BEEN DETENTION CENTERS USED BY LOCAL POLICE UNITS.
01 I COMMENT: INFORMATION ON THESE DETENTION CENTERS WAS RELEASED
ON IS APRIL BY THE CENTER FOR LEGAL AND SOCIAL STUDIES (CELS) WHICH
IDENTIFIED 47 SUCH LOCATIONS I
