The names of the 12 identified disappeared persons in the clandestine detention center La Perla were revealed

Today, 12 names of disappeared individuals identified at the La Perla clandestine detention center in Córdoba, Argentina, were disclosed following work by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF).

In a significant development for the families of those who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) has identified the names of 12 individuals who were victims at the La Perla clandestine detention center in Córdoba. This center operated between the mid-1970s and late 1978, a period marked by severe human rights violations and political repression under the military regime. The announcement was made by federal judge Miguel Hugo Vaca Narvaja, alongside the Secretary of Human Rights, Trafficking, and Gender, Miguel Ceballos. Families of the victims have recently been informed of these findings, which bring to light the identities of individuals who were among the approximately 2,500 people detained at La Perla, a site notorious for its brutality and the enforced disappearances that occurred there. The identification of these victims is a crucial step towards achieving justice and closure for their families and highlights the ongoing importance of remembrance and accountability in the context of Argentina's past. The work done by the EAAF is part of broader efforts to investigate and document the atrocities committed during the dictatorship, ensuring that the memory of those who were lost is preserved and that similar violations do not happen in the future.
