Missing Argentine 'dirty war' trial witness found.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: MAYRA PERTOSSI
A key witness in an Argentine "dirty war" human rights trial who disappeared two days ago was found Friday, and a friend said he had been abducted, beaten and burned with cigarettes.
Luis Gerez was found just minutes after Argentine President Nestor Kirchner blamed the disappearance of Gerez and another trial witness on former security agents who were trying to impede efforts to try alleged abusers during the 1966-73 military dictatorship.
Gerez, 51, a witness against a former police chief charged with torture during the dictatorship, disappeared Wednesday night in the town of Escobar, just north of the capital of Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires Security Minister Leon Arslanian said Gerez was found by police on a street in Garin, a town just north of Buenos Aires. He was naked from the waist up, but was in generally good condition, Arslanian said.
A friend who spoke to Gerez at a hospital, Alberto Fernandez de Rosa, said Gerez told him that he had been abducted by three men who had blindfolded, beat and burned him with cigarettes.
