Montevideo, Oct 1 (Prensa Latina) The search for remains of people detained and disappeared in military grounds, marches, trials and calls to arrest dictators have marked the political week in Uruguay.
Thousands of Uruguayans, together with mothers and families of detained and missing people, marched from the University of the Republic to the historic Cagancha Square on Friday night.
Relatives of victims of the 1973-1985 dictatorship carried posters with pictures of those missing in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.
Demonstrators said Uruguay is going through a different historic period thanks to the support of the progressive government of President Tabare Vazquez to investigate disappearances and clandestine burials of people in military plots of land.
However, they questioned the documentation oppressors handed the government on the grounds several victims were buried.
Attorney Hebe Martinez Burle told Prensa Latina that justice seemed bound to the imprisonment of dictator Juan Maria Bordaberry.
Juan Maria Bordaberry is charged with violating the Uruguayan Constitution, as he co-authored the murder of former legislators Zelmar Michelini and Hector Gutierrez Ruiz in 1976.
Searching for the truth means to find bodies of the people murdered during the dictatorship and get to know the true events to tell the coming generations about them and "eliminate dictatorships once and for all," stated demonstrators.
