ARGENTINA: Human Rights Issue
3.5(c)
The Argentine government faces growing international
and domestic protests over missing or arbitrarily detained per-
sons.
3.5(c) Within the last few months, several foreign nationals
have been arrested and charged with subversive political activ-
ity. Some have simply disappeared without explanation. Most dip-
lomatic attempts to gain their release or even information on
their status have failed.
3.5(c) A US priest arrested last week has been denied con-
sular access depite a protest note from the US embassy. The
West German, Italian, and Cuban embassies have tried in vain to
obtain information on missing nationals.
3.5(c)
Only the Israeli government has been successful in
freeing some of its nationals, and that only after persistent
protests brought the intervention of top Argentine officials.
3.5(c)
Until recently, the Argentine public, anxious for an
end to terrorism, has generally accepted the need for the gov-
ernment's arbitrary countersubversion policy. Now, military
leaders are facing increasing pressure to settle the cases of
dozens of detained Peronist labor and political leaders, and
popular concern is growing for the hundreds of individuals who
have been detained or have disappeared without a trace since
the military take-over in March.

3.5(c)
One of those detained was former president General
Alejandro Lanusse. The military recently placed him under
five days "disciplinary arrest" for criticizing the govern-
ment's treatment of a university professor who served as La-
nusse's education minister and who was accused of Marxist
sympathies.
3.5(c)
It is unlikely that either domestic or international
pressure will move military leaders to put effective brakes on
the counterterrorist campaign. Violence that has for years
plagued Argentine society was a primary factor in the downfall
of the five previous governments. Now that some progress is
being made against organized terrorists, human rights consider-
ations are not likely to deter security officials from their
efforts to restore public order.
