CRITICISM AND PRAISE ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ASSASSINATION OF Michelini and Gutiérrez Ruiz

Thousands of Uruguayans march silently
In the thirteenth version of the traditional march to remember the more than 200 Uruguayans disappeared, there was recognition for the progress made by the government for DD.HH., but also claims the Act expiration.
Thousands of people marched yesterday through the streets of Montevideo in a new anniversary of the killing of militants by the Uruguayan military dictatorship (1973-1985). With the slogan "Truth and Justice, human rights associations and social organizations commemorated more than 200 missing on a day that was marked by both praise and criticism of the government. "He's done a lot but not everything what we need, "he said on the eve of the anniversary Luisa Cuesta, the Association of Relatives of Detained-Disappeared. Neither
with drums and with party flags. A tradition unlike Argentina, the thirteenth March of Silence took place as indicated by its name. With portraits of the missing, the families of the victims led the movement that brought 20,000 to 25,000 people, 50 percent less than last year. The silence was interrupted only shouts, when relatives of the missing arrived at the esplanade of the Municipality of Montevideo and shouted "present" every time he read the name of one of the victims.
Since 1996, every May 20 DD.HH. agencies, the PIT-CNT trade union confederation, the Federation of University Students (FEU), a federation of cooperatives (FUCVAM) and the Coalition for the annulment of the amnesty law start from the Plaza de los Desaparecidos to Freedom Plaza to remember that date, in which the Uruguayan legislators Zelmar Michelini and Hector Gutierrez Ruiz, along with the militants tupamaros Rosario Barredo and William Whitelaw, were killed in Buenos Aires and the Uruguayan dictatorship Argentina in 1976.
The claim fund is to know what happened to the missing and repudiate the dictatorship. "(May 20) is the reaffirmation of 'Never Again' is so we have been struggling for years, "he told local newspaper El Pais Javier Miranda, a lawyer and spokesman for the Association of Relatives of Detained-Disappeared.
Since coming to power of the Frente Amplio, which yesterday called for the mobilization, some believe that the anniversary was held in a favorable context for human rights. "We demand truth and justice in a government that is against impunity and in the face of the annulment of the amnesty law," said Rafael Michelini Pagina/12, a senator from the ruling coalition and son of the slain legislator. "We do not see the invalidity of Lapse as a parliamentary issue, but as the result of mobilization" added.
That law, passed in 1986 and ratified by plebiscite in 1989, prevented judge most responsible for human rights violations during the dictatorship. But although President Vázquez refuses to repeal the rule, the whole of the FA last voted to support the campaign to cancel, so far collected about 105,000 of the nearly 250,000 signatures required to call the referendum before April 2009.
However, the march yesterday did not include the void in their slogans, because some family members disagreed. "Most part of the campaign for the annulment, but some do not. Also everyone is against impunity, "said this newspaper Luis Puig, Secretary of DD.HH. of PIT-CNT. The unionist ruling is one of those who think that although there was progress on human rights under the current government, not enough. "It is imperative to annul the amnesty law," he said.
But that is not the only request that is made to the government. Unlike the Argentine government, in Uruguay the causes found in the Court are initiated by the victims or their families and not by the state, said Raul Olivera, the Human Rights Commission of the PIT-CNT. Also, some family members criticize the Uruguayan Embassy in Italy take months ago to submit the request for extradition of Jorge Troccoli repressor, allowing the release of the soldier. "Everything is going very slow," he told El Pais Amalia Gonzalez, a member of the Detained-Disappeared.
The questions also arise from the ranks of officialdom to what some see as a lack of results in the investigations on the Uruguayans who disappeared in Argentina. "The only thing the government has done is take the case of the amnesty law," he told El Pais Lille Caruso, head of the ruling Communist Party DD.HH..
