Horacio Mendez's lawyer will argue tomorrow Carrera trial on the ESMA. Account the data provided by the oral process. The reconstruction of abduction and captivity in clandestine detention center and the relationship of the French nuns with the Agrarian Leagues and Bishop Novak.
says Horacio Mendez Carrera twenty five years ago he asked for three things: to identify how the French nuns who disappeared, to find the perpetrators and the manner of condemning them. It also says that if he had then said they would spend 25 years to the sentence, those who ordered the search will still be looking for attorneys. Today is finally in charge of rebuilding in a defense-in audience for the crimes of the ESMA, the story of Leonie Duquet and Alice Domon. To collect new items on that story brought the historic trial that is approaching the final stage, in which witnesses first reconstructed not only the suffering of religious extermination center, but also why they became target of the task forces.
"He keeps saying that the two sisters were kidnapped by the request and I'm sure it did not happen," says Mendez Carrera on the work of collecting the money that carried out the relatives of disappeared from the Church Santa Cruz to publish the first request to the list of missing. To counsel, the reason for the disappearance of Perugorría nuns dating back to the people of Corrientes where Alice Domon began working with the Agrarian Leagues. Alice later moved to Buenos Aires, where he joined with the Bishop of Quilmes to find, at the beginning, missing Corrientes. That began to treat victims, the families, the poorest of the poor, to "assemble small groups," says Mendez Carrera, and send to the casita that Leonie was in Ramos Mejía. "For sailors this cottage was a aguantadero Léonie: the place where they were given food to the poor and gave them some money."
ESMA's allegations began last week with the reconstruction of what happened with the group of twelve victims of the Church of the Holy Cross, kidnapped on 8 and 10 December 1977 on the eve of the publication of the request. Méndez Carrera and Luis Zamora completed today the allegation, exploring four victims, including two French nuns of the Order of the Foreign Missions. During the sixteen months of hearings, other evidence allowed them rebuild their lives. Declared siblings, relatives, religious and militant of Corrientes.
These testimonies - many of whom were heard in the Trial of the Juntas, the first time that these crimes were judged to convict only to military commanders - brightened the day to day two. The Alice, owner of history, perhaps better known, and Leonie, who, for example, the day of the kidnapping on the table left his home the money to a plane ticket to France. Money that the sailors did not touch because, according to the hypothesis, should not arouse suspicion in the quarter: Leonie had to walk fifteen meters from the door of his house and street, and if she realized that she was abducted on the route able to alert the neighbors, who knew very well, in a neighborhood that was for seven years.
History
Alice worked with the league until March 1977. "The Agrarian League was an important movement in Argentina feudal" says Mendez-Carrera, where snuff were barons who exploited a poor tobacco and infamously, the starved, and all the economy is doing well with production craft, which had no recourse to the plow tractor hand, there was hunger and the situation was frightening because the kids if they got sick were dying not of starvation but by disease. "
While in Perugorría, Alice traveled to France for a meeting of the order. The chapter was done in 1975 and at that time asked to be relieved of the votes of the congregation. Méndez Carrera stopped a lot in this data during the interview with Pagina/12 because, in his hypothesis, is a fact that sailors used to secularize, to remove the picture of religious and mentioned as "women" and make them go some way In the group of enemies to kill. What he says about that time, and tried to prove during the trial, is that despite the waiver, they did not cease to be nuns. In France there was a schism within the congregation, which gave them fifteen other religious and when Alice came back, settled in the same place where he was and remained Perugorría regular meetings with the head of his congregation.
"Perugorría was the heart of the order," says the lawyer. So much so that when she was the Mother Superior spent one month there, he settled with them, watching everything. "
in that town, Alice said the commitment of his first time in Buenos Aires. She was a specialist in catechesis for the disabled. When he arrived in France, worked in the Diocese of Morón, where he treated the disabled child repressor Jorge Videla. "The charisma of these women had to live as the most vulnerable, still Méndez Carrera. Perugorría Before leaving, she was in Villa Lugano five years and settled near the dump, the site closest to the dump, because there were families most disadvantaged, those who lived and ate garbage. "
By March 1977, the dictatorship had killed a member of the League, had gone to others, was kidnapped and others were on the eve of being." So it was a disaster "says the lawyer. In this framework, she said that if it is not, families will continue to disappear, so she went to Buenos Aires to try to make arrangements, help family there, which were missing and to seek the releases of the other and that's how you link with Novak. "
Bishop Jorge Novak, Quilmes, had an office of Justice and Peace. Caty, the nickname by which Alice called" listened and took note of all those with missing children and not only that, but it provided assistance: spiritual support than was on the material support that was trying to provide sustenance for life. They gave them silver and accompanied errands to know what happened to those people. "
One of the testimonies that underpinned this hypothesis in the trial was the provincial superior of Irma Evelina Lamartine, twice mentioned the word" connection " Alice and Leonie, and Mendez Carrera ensures that only then realized the thread of his stories, he stopped to ask for a more organic political commitment and understand what is now defined as the "charisma" both. "Lamartine said he had a connection to the little house," says Méndez Carrera Léonie. Caty these small groups led him to Leonie, then fed them, because there was a hunger problem as well. As Léonie made a kind of stop is organized. Alice preparing habeas corpus in the bishopric, accompanying people to do presentations or whatever. So, that connection there was between Léonie and Alice was very intimate. Alice went to live with it for six months Léonie before they were abducted, lived together and loved each other deeply. " Léonie
lived in a house with a tin roof, next to a chapel of Ramos Mejía. Attending the priest at Mass, was a teacher of catechism teachers, and fundamental in the neighborhood. Alice was kidnapped on 8 December in Santa Cruz. Evelina Leonie told at that time to leave. The three had been detained in a time before the raids in Plaza de Mayo, they had also been another of the sisters, Ivonne Pierron, who later left the country in a plane of the French Embassy. Léonie said no, that would not be convinced that Alice was going to be released. And it would be to wait. The following Saturday, the 10th of December, the same day they kidnapped Azucena Villaflor in Avellaneda, also kidnapped her.
The ESMA
Acosta El Tigre was the intelligence chief of the ESMA. Or in the words of one of the witnesses, "the executive director." In the latest hearings spoke and after hours, said the nuns, but not the nuns called it "women." He said the ESMA during the week of the kidnapping was closed. And although he admitted the infiltration of Alfredo Astiz, and even his own, tried to say that the kidnapping was not the ESMA but of others. Him on December 10 was blowing the birthday cake of his daughter in Puerto Belgrano. "A hair taken," says the lawyer, "a parody. All data collected will serve to say that such was not in Puerto Belgrano, Buenos Aires, but if I had been there the same would be responsible. Invent anything to be justified because it is the first time they are sitting in the dock with a sentence to fall on their heads, for murder to life imprisonment, for serious events, committed against a group of unarmed civilians, but Curiously this group of unarmed civilians with their white handkerchiefs defeated, because if these guys are sitting there is unyielding fighting spirit of all these women. "
- What is known today for the kidnapping of Léonie?
-Del involved kidnapping four people. Among them, the Mad Suárez. He was a lieutenant in the Navy, worked in a multinational company, he worked at Ford and Coca-Cola de Córdoba. He loved rugby and hunting. On Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to go to the ESMA to participate in special operations. And the Fool Suarez is the common thread that allows us to easily reach the ESMA, because there was a fireman, was not Army: Saturdays and Sundays was there, because the guy did it for sport, and hunting elephants in Africa, nuns went hunting here is the same.
- What is the reconstruction of what happened to them inside the ESMA?
-made two different routes: Caty was in the basement. Leonie in Capuchita, from Saturday 10 to Sunday was good. One of the witnesses sees praying and saying: "I think my sister is here too." Committed the cruelty of separating them, but then come together for the photo. Both suffered torture. One witness, Graciela Garcia, said that when she applied the prod in the vagina had a major infection, it was common to say that women bite in that area and this is so then come and Alice could not walk. So the baton smashed in, trapping him apart from the mouth, eye, leave bruises all over her face, arms, because they were beaten and they were protected, so they had blue arms. For the dates given Acosta, and data on the cause, it is assumed that moved few days later in the flight of Dec. 14 death in a plane operated by pilots arrested on Tuesday. It is also known that inside the ESMA Caty was separated from Azucena. But the two, just as they asked all those who were for the same thing: what is your name. Data requested them convinced they were going out. Alice also asked again and again for the blond boy, and how I was convinced that among Astiz was also kidnapped.

grandmothers and grandchildren, "subversive criminals"
By Irina Hauser
The expert of the Provincial Commission for Memory, Claudia Bellingeri, said yesterday in his trial for theft of babies found documents in the file Dippba which account for up to the Grandmothers and concern over reports of children appropriate.
"DS" are the initials of a name. Is an acronym for "subversive criminals." It was the seal that the Intelligence Directorate of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires (Dippba) used to identify the "enemies", including children abducted with their parents or born in captivity for terrorism of State. So the signs in the "tabs" which left evidence of their personal data, but that led to another part to your file, where further information was still on their characteristics or activities. "Extremist" he said, for example, in the case of Clara Anahí Mariani, when he was a baby of five months, whom his grandmother Maria Isabel Chorobik Mariani-founder of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, still searching.
The material was displayed yesterday on a giant screen during the trial on the systematic plan of appropriation of missing children by Claudia Bellingeri, the old file expert police intelligence agency which now manages the Provincial Commission por la Memoria, y que está plagado de evidencias sobre la persecución planificada y organizada a las embarazadas, a sus hijos, a las abuelas que los buscaban y a jueces que intentaban restituirles su identidad. Los documentos exhibidos forman parte de un informe entregado al Tribunal Oral Federal 6 (TOF6) y revelan seguimientos en dictadura y en democracia, e incluso la entrega de expedientes íntegros por parte de los Tribunales de Menores (donde las Abuelas llevaban sus denuncias) a la policía de Ramón Camps.
Bellingeri, designada por la Cámara Federal de La Plata, mostró imágenes del archivo de la Dippba y le explicó al TOF6 -que preside la jueza María Roqueta- que fueron peritados 363 documentos. Se calcula, has estimated that more than 300 000 personal files of all the province of Buenos Aires issued by the central espionage "function was to pursue and investigate citizens deemed dangerous." It worked, he said, since 1956 and was deactivated in 1998.
searcher looks
Women who from the beginning formed Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo had sheets and bundles with which the Dippba continued its activities around the search for their grandchildren, while relieving controlled the information they compiled about the possible fate of children and their captors. There are chips at least sixteen grandmothers, including the current holder entity, Estela Carlotto, Chicha Mariani and Zubasnabar Alicia de la Cuadra. Some could be seen in the trial. Were made, said the written report of the commission, between the seventies and early eighties. The grandmothers also classified as "DS".
There are intelligence reports that describe their activities. Specify that "own resources"-that is, "infiltrated" the Dippba, "have been established that the group called Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo staged a pamphlet action in the central area of \u200b\u200bQuilmes." Added to the schedule, route, participants. Other parts played their posters: "My grandmother is like, help her find", "Day Universal Human Rights. "Thus, there is a track of all the street signs, with which the police intelligence arming listings abducted children, and thus the information is centralized so much about them as about family members who were looking for.
"Means obtained own copy of brochure that describes some of the missing children with their photos (...) on the date of this delegation staff acting in coverage in the Faculty of Fine Arts, won an original letter Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo sent to the students of the UNLP by fasting for freedom of political prisoners, "said another memo. It also added a list of 103 young pregnant whose babies were born in captivity, with date of kidnapping, armed by an informant, based on data publicly circulating that he himself describes as "partial," said the expert Bellingeri.
"Own means have achieved by infiltration" a "photocopy of statement titled Location 1, Location of children Post Morten" (sic), says another report from the Dippba. Similarly, the agents were monitoring everything that is published or said in the media on the subject. We found 250 VHS video cassettes with the body's own films and television programs, more than 160 audio cassettes.
Among the individual bundles entered the Grandmothers stalking, perhaps one of the most eloquent is the Chicha Mariani. "Back to the country of Ms. Mariani," he says, and is based on information from the March 17, 1982, when she returned after participating effectively in the Human Rights Congress for Amnesty International. Next to the text typed Dippba machine, a handwritten note appears saying that "suggests" the intervention of his delegation in Buenos Aires and to transfer the information to Colonel Henry Rospide (now deceased) for "Collaborators." As stated in the expert
Bellingeri, analysis of the documents that Rospide, who was one of the trusted advisor to Camps, centralized "monitoring of cases of children appropriate international human rights organizations, Mothers, Grandmothers and Family" . Vector were a kind of so-called "sensitive information" that often resulted from the Commissioner Pedro Domingo Costilla, one of the agents Dippba plant, speaking directly into the control, especially of Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza May.
factor "extremism"
"Clara Anahí Mariani, with only five months old, has a file in which it lists as 'extremist', or 'factor Extremism,' notes the report of the Commission's Report, which also notes that its " history "is attached to the report of traces to his father, Daniel Enrique Mariani, who was murdered in 1977. "The location of the files with the names of children who were abducted in a table that Dippba called 'DS'", as contained in the chips, "validates the idea that Camps was about them: they were" sons of the subversive 'and therefore victims of state violence, "the analysis of documentation. One of the sets, based on the monitoring the mother of Clara Anahí, before his assassination in a real slaughter on 24 November 1976 (when the baby was three months), shows that there was an order of Battalion 601 to the Directorate of Intelligence to identify himself to the gynecologist and the dentist who had treated during pregnancy.
Another file, which showed the expert witness at the hearing before the TOF6, reveals the follow-up José María Lavalle Lemos, who had been given to Teresa Isabel Gonzalez, a petty officer of the brigade of San Justo and her husband, Nelson Ruben, in moment that the judge Juan Ramos Padilla traveled to Mar del Plata, when he sought to restore its identity, something that was achieved. The little girl Mary was the daughter of Monica and Gustavo Lemos Antonio Lavalle, kidnapped in 1977 in José C. Paz, born in captivity. Intelligence reports confidential police are concerned by the arrest of Gonzalez: "It is known that the child is delivered to the San Justo brigade and that the certificate was signed by Vidal," is evident (.. .) that the Provincial Police will be back in the day "and" Ramos Padilla is likely to try to do anything in the area. We adopted the provisions of the case and look forward confidently. " Justice
accomplice
court records opened to the habeas corpus or complaints " people seeking to know the whereabouts of their grandchildren become an intelligence material to the prosecution of the families of the victims that claim and to analyze the interior of the Directorate of Intelligence "information regarding the grandmothers were abduction of children and pregnant women, "warns the report of the CPPM. This, he says, is produced through two mechanisms. In one of them, the police intelligence unit is the" habeas corpus "as the search for missing that" conclude negatively, ie without informing the fate of the victim even if they are underage or pregnant women. "Worse still, is" create events forged "as" fake encounters "in which victims are identified but never uses that information to respond to a habeas corpus and not seeing any subsequent order of the judicial authorities.
But researchers have also warned the committee that had Direct monitoring specific legal actions of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, to the point that some juvenile courts turned him to full records Dippba based on their presentations. Who was Junín Juvenile Justice, Juan José Rogger-by If-, send a copy of the record led by grandmothers, one Ferrarese Maria Paulina Urra, whose grandson would born in captivity. So does the judge in San Martín, Eduardo Basso, and the list goes on. Bellingeri
The statement did not finish and will surely other day explaining how they built the sets of all the victims, which is, like many others, Laura, daughter killed by Estela Carlotto, who was detained in the cache and gave birth to a child, one of the 400 still could not recover their identity. All these documents are very important for the Oral Tribunal when assessing the evidence showing a systematic plan to take over the children of the disappeared.
