Human Rights Developments
The Argentine GOvernment has released Alfredo Sofia,
a pro-Communist human rights leader, whose arrest last
week was apparently designed to warn domestic critics
not to speak out against security measures taken during
the World Cup soccer tournament that began on 1 June.
Interior Minister Harguindeguy has attempted to justify
the arrest on the ground that Sofia--who has been pub-
lishing information on political prisoners and missing
persons--is responsible for pamphlet that scurrilously
attacked the government. The timing of the detention
reflects the dilemma of government security officials
who are trying to prevent terrorist incidents during
the soccer tournament while not doing further damage to
Argentina's human rights image.
