Argentine officers accused for torturing own troops during 1982 war

The defendants are to be held accountable for 18 acts of torture against their own starving troops
The Federal Court of Appeals of Comodoro Rivadavia Thursday upheld in a 2-1 vote the arraignment of former Argentine officers Eduardo Gassino, Belisario Affranchino Rumi, Gustavo Calderini and Miguel Ángel Garde for “imposition of torments” on soldiers under their command during the 1982 armed conflict with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands.
This type of offence is considered a “crime against humanity” which means there is no statute of limitations for the defendants, who shall remain incarcerated pending trial.
The new ruling upheld what in February 2020 had been decided by the Federal Court of Río Grande in Tierra del Fuego.
