Argentina Marks 34th Anniversary of Military Coup
-------------------------------------------------



In Argentina, thousands of people rallied in Buenos Aires on Wednesday
to mark the anniversary of the 1976 coup that launched a seven-year
military dictatorship. The date is marked every year as Truth and
Justice Memorial Day, with calls to probe unsolved disappearances and
prosecute former military officials. Argentine President Cristina
Fernández addressed with a crowd with a pledge to pursue justice.

Argentine President Cristina Fernández: “Allow me to make a commitment
in front of you, in front of all of you, in front of all Argentines,
that if we do not get justice in Argentina, as president, I will take it
to other international courts to get justice.”
