Torturer killed in Argentina

Prefect Febres, a genocidal torturer, member of the state terrorist
death squads under the military government (1976-82), assigned to the
concentration camp in ESMA (Petty officers' Mechanic Naval School)
during the "lead years" was found assassinated two days ago at his
detention center, a Naval Prefecture Garrison where he was avaiting
sentence for four of the more of 300 cases of dissappearences,
torture, babies appropriationsa and other crimes he was accused of.

He was murdered four days before the sentence was to be dictated by
the panel of judges that put him on trial. He was held prisoner in a
confortable two-room apartment, with TV, DVD, air conditioned,
unrestricted visits, access to cellular telephone and internet and
without key to his front door.

His corpse was found at 10:30 AM two days ago, when his guards climbed
to the second floor apartment surprised by the fact that he did not
come down to have breakfast with them as usual. Pressured by the
lawyers of the victims (Collaborative Justicia Ya! where the CP, PTS
and people connected with Izquierda.Info participate) an autopsy was
performed and found he had several times over the deadly dosis of 0.5
mmgg of cyanide in his blood stream.

Febres was accused of torturing and murdering, as well as appropiating
babies born in captivity of over 300 members of Montoneros, FAR, PST
as well as human rights and trade unionist activists as well as
intellectuals and the founder of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, Villaflor.

The message of the crime was clear and is sendind a chilling reminder
to everyone: Nobody talks, nobody will be punished, they can still
touch everthing inside and outside prison. Febres was supposed to
address the tribunal tomorrow adn some expected he would have disclosed
who has some of the babies born in captivity. The General Attorney
asked the tribunal to hand out a 25-year sentence because he was only
being judged this time for four crimes of torment and illegal arrests.

Two of his guards had been arrested and possibly the head of the Naval
Prefecture will be removed from his post. But he message of terror
was, again, delivered.
