Dom mot juntans brott i Argentina

Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor, also known as Plan Cóndor, Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, which started in 1968 and was officially implemented in 1975 by the right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America. The program was intended to eradicate communist or Soviet influence and ideas, and to suppress active or potential opposition movements against the participating governments. Due to its clandestine nature, the precise number of deaths directly attributable to Operation Condor is highly disputed. Some estimates are that at least 60,000 deaths can be attributed to Condor, and possibly more. Victims included dissidents and leftists, union and peasant leaders, priests and nuns, students and teachers, intellectuals and suspected guerillas. Condor's key members were the governments in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil. The United States government provided technical support and supplied military aid to the participants until at least 1978, and again after Republican Ronald Reagan became President in 1981. Such support was frequently routed through the Central Intelligence Agency. Ecuador and Peru later joined the operation in more peripheral roles. These efforts, such as Operation Charly, supported the local juntas in their anti-communist repression.

Dagmar Hagelin, född 29 september 1959 i Buenos Aires, troligen död 1977, var en argentinsk flicka med dubbelt medborgarskap, argentinskt och svenskt. Under den argentinska militärdiktaturens smutsiga krig (Guerra sucia), mot politiska motståndare, blev Dagmar Hagelin en av många oskyldigt drabbade då hon den 27 januari 1977 kidnappades i huvudstaden Buenos Aires av argentinska säkerhetsstyrkor och troligtvis mördades. Hennes far Ragnar Hagelin arbetar fortfarande för att de skyldiga ska ställas inför rätta. Tillsammans med Svante Grände är hon en av två ännu saknade svenska medborgare i Argentina från militärdiktaturens tid. Den man som utpekats som skyldig till Hagelins död är marinofficeren Alfredo Astiz som 1990 i Frankrike dömdes i sin frånvaro för mordet på två franska nunnor. I oktober 2011 dömdes slutligen Astiz till livstids fängelse i Argentina för kidnappningar av och mord på fem personer.
