December 22nd

On this day - 22nd of December 1992 - The Archives of Terror were found

On this day in 1992 Dr Martín Almada and judge José Augustín Fernández found the Archives of Terror. The archives were found in a police station in Asunción, capital of Paraguay. Fernández was looking for a prisoner, but instead he discovered an archive that described the fate of thousands of Latin Americans. Their fate was sealed by the security services of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, under the codename Condor. Under this codename an estimated 50,000 people were killed, 30,000 just disappeared and 400,000 were imprisoned.  General Pinochet court case was mostly based on evidence from the archive. Operation Condor was in effect from 1975 and the United States of America provided technical support and military aid until at least 1978. There were several political incidences where the goal was to change the leaders of countries. For the most part the targets were communist friendly people
