Havana, July 16 (RHC)-- In an emotional ceremony, the remains of the bodies of Cubans Jesús Cejas and Crescencio Galañena, victims of the Argentinean dictatorship, were incorporated into the Museum of the Denunciation in Havana.

Authorities from different ministries of our country participated in the tribute, as well as relatives of one of the victims, according to information recently published by related sources.

At the beginning of the year, the Argentinean Secretary of Human Rights Horacio Pietragalla delivered to the Cuban Embassy in that country the metal tanks in which the remains of the two young diplomats murdered in 1976 were found.

Jesús Cejas and Crescencio Galañena were approached on August 9th of that year by a task force of the dictatorship, a few steps away from the diplomatic headquarters of the island.  They were later murdered in the clandestine detention and torture center Automotores Orletti, one of several that functioned as places of extermination.

Almost four decades later, in June 2012, Galañena's remains were found in a 200-liter container filled with cement, in an abandoned property in the Buenos Aires town of Virreyes. A year later, those of his companion were found.

At that time, the Cuban ambassador in that South American nation, Pedro Pablo Prada, thanked for the gesture that allows to complete the history of Cejas and Galañena.

Likewise, to contribute to a better knowledge of those events and of the attacks on the island promoted by the United States as part of Operation Condor.
