Argentines remember 30th anniversary of military coup

Last Friday was observed as a day of national remembrance in Argentina in commemoration of the March 24, 1976 coup that led to nearly a decade of military rule. Families of the thousands of “disappeared,” such as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, somberly commemorated the coup’s anniversary as many declared “Never Again!” would such a tragedy occur in Argentina. The BBC’s website has a slideshow of the events held last week.
