Buenos Aires, March 25 (RHC)-- The Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo launched a massive march on Sunday, March 24th -- the 43rd anniversary of the 1976 U.S.-backed military coup.  Known as the Dirty War, about 30,000 persons were arrested and disappeared during the period of the dictatorship, which lasted until 1983.

"Forty-three years after the military coup, everybody to the Plaza!" the Mothers' Association said, adding despite efforts by several right-wing governments have tried to erase what transpired, "our memories build our homeland" and Argentina's history.

Now a commorative date in Argentinean history, on the "Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice," human rights defenders, workers, politicians and students staged two marches towards the Plaza de Mayo.

"March 24, a new anniversary of the genocidal coup and the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo were in the streets, together with the people, as they have always been.  Yesterday against the military, today against those who sell the country.  43 years after the coup, the struggle continues."
