The former head of Argentina’s air force and two ex-subordinates are on trial for alleged abduction and disappearance of activists during the Latin American nation’s 1976-1983 dictatorship.

Omar Graffigna, 90, is accused of abducting activist couple Patricia Roisinblit and Jose Manuel Perez Rojo in 1978.

Roisinblit was eight months pregnant when she, Perez Rojo, and a 15-month-old daughter were taken to a clandestine detention centre. What happened to the couple is unknown.

Guillermo Perez Roisinblit, the son Roisinblit gave birth to during detention, is a plaintiff in the trial that began this week. He was adopted by another family.

3. Indeed. I hope it can happen.

If Bernie would put that on the table, I would be for him.
