Hernán Abriata
From WikiAlpha
Hernán Abriata was an Argentinian architecture student who was secretly kidnapped and murdered in 1976, during Argentina's "Dirty War".[3][4]
In December 2022 former policeman Mario Sandoval was convicted for playing a role in his murder-kidnapping.[3] Sandoval received a 15 year sentence.
Abriata married in 1976.[2] He shared a cell at the ESMA torture center with Carlos Loza, one of only 100 surviving desaparecidos.[4] Loza testified, at Sandoval's trial, that Abriata was "transferred" on January 5, 1977.[1] The Guardian explained, for its readers, that, in this case, "transfer" meant extrajudicial execution.
