THE 5,000 HECTARES OF THE CAMPO DE MAYO MILITARY GARRISON ARE BELIEVED TO CONTAIN HIDDEN HUMAN REMAINS. | TELAM
The world-renowned Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) has begun to carry out a unique aerial survey of the Campo de Mayo military garrison to identify the graves of people who went missing during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.
Anthropologists will take to the skies to fly over the more than 5,000 hectares that housed four clandestine detention centres during the dictatorship era, following up a joint investigation by the Human Rights Secretariat, the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo and San Martín Federal Judge Alicia Vence.
The team began their “preliminary investigation” as far back as 2006 to probe the functioning of the clandestine detention centres and hence determine possible burial sites.
The Argentine scientists, acclaimed across the globe for the search and identification of the remains of the missing, have carried out this historic investigation in close co-operation with Juan Carlos “Cacho” Scarpati, a survivor who managed to escape from Campo de Mayo and bear witness to the horrors there.
