...military regime that toppled her three years ago. Human rights organizations, including the London-based Amnesty International, charge that since 1975 15,000 desaparecidos have been abducted, tortured and possibly killed by agents of the government - without authorization by any court of law. Argentine activists guess that the total might be as high as 12,000, while the government insists that fewer than 5,000 people were arrested under executive powers invoked during a state of siege that was imposed...
