Argentina: Military Chief Accused of 1976 Human Rights Abuses Resigns 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Argentina, the head of the military has resigned, citing personal
reasons. Major General César Milani was appointed head of the army in
2013 by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner despite charges he was
involved in human rights abuses, including torture and the disappearance
of a soldier, dating back to 1976, when Argentina's military
dictatorship came to power.
