ARGENTINA: 30,000 reasons to keep struggling

November 17, 1993

BUENOS AIRES — On March 24, more than 100,000 people gathered at the Plaza de Mayo, made famous by the mothers of the disappeared, who, along with unions, human rights organisations, students and people from all walks of life, demanded justice for the murderous acts of the military regime 30 years ago when 30,000 people were 'disappeared'. A 200m-long banner at the head of the march displayed photos of the disappeared. The demonstration was one of the largest ever on this infamous date, which has been made a public holiday by President Nestor Kirchner.
