30,000 missing — claim
NZPA-Reuter Frankfurt Members of a West German Protestant church delegation to Argentina have said that they had been given information that the Government there knows of 30,000 people who have disappeared. Human rights groups previously documented about 10,000 cases of people known to have vanished under Argentina’s six-year military regime.
Speaking after the five Protestants had returned, a delegate, Mr Peter Kranz, said that Bishop Nowak of Quilmes, a Buenos Aires suburb, had told them that the Argentine Interior Ministry had files on 30,000 people who had disappeared. Bishop Nowak had been given the information by a trusted friend close to the Interior Ministry, said Mr Kranz.
The group had also heard from reliable sources in Argentina that some of those listed as missing were still alive and being held in internment camps.
