Argentina kills, tortures hundreds By Robert B. Cochran Staff Writer Hundreds of people have been systematically tortured and killed in Argentina since 1976, according to two survivors who escaped recently from a secret government detention camp. Oscar Gonzalez and Horacio la Paz report to have spent fifteen months in Argentine "concentration camps" after being abducted within two weeks of each other in November of 1977 in Buenos Aires. During their detention they claim to have seen over 800 people pass through five different camps operated by government security forces. Torture and interrogation was the fate that awaited the victims, most of whom were abducted unexpectedly from their homes and work places. Gonzalez and la Paz claim that they and many others were taken to "Club Atletico" in Buenos Aires following their initial arrests. Here they experienced torture in rooms called "operating theaters" equipped with electric cattle prods and metal tables to which the prisoners were bound. According to the two men, shocks were applied to the head, armpits, sexual organs, anus, groin, mouth, and other sensitive parts of the body. Of the people described by Gonzalez and la Paz as having been kidnapped and tortured, some had been politically active, while others were relatives of political suspects. Many were detained for no apparent reasons. Others were taken for the purpose of extortion. Amnesty International, a world wide human rights organization, has documented a list of 2,665 people known to have "disappeared" in Argentina since the coup that brought General Jorge Videla to power in March 1976.
