Experts find in 2013 remains of 20 missing in Argentina
After arduous and meticulous research, Argentine forensic anthropologists managed to find and identify in 2013 the remains of 20 people, victims of repression during the State terrorism of the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983).
In this task, dedicated to restoring the truth and memory, participated and coordinated the work mainly the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, and was supported, for example, by the Group of Anthropology Memory and Identity of Tucumán, among others .
The summary of the findings of the remains, among which is the young Cuban diplomat Jesús Cejas, was reported by Telam news agency.
The remains of Cejas were found in May in a metal drum of 200 liters capacity, filled with cement, in an area of the town of Virreyes, Buenos Aires Province, where excavations were carried out in search of victims of the military dictatorship.
Cejas was kidnapped on August 9, 1976 in the neighborhood of Belgrano, along with his fellow countryman Crescentius Galañena, whose body was found and identified in late 2012.
Among other bodies identified in 2013 are those of six missing in the so-called Pozo de Vargas, province of Tucumán
