Argentina: Death squads may be linked to witness’ disappearance

Argentine authorities and human rights activists worry that a possible resurgence in right-wing death squads may be behind the disappearance of a former political prisoner. Jorge Julio López (image) - a key witness in the trial of a human rights abuser- has gone missing for almost a month and his disappearance has caught the attention of many Argentineans. Prosecutors that worked with López have received anonymous death threats and are worried over their safety.
