after TRELEW LIFE and the struggle for justice
"Remember that this has happened, I commend these words" Primo Levi
survivor of Nazi concentration camps. Ell
August 15, 1972, a group of six leaders of the FAR, and ERP Montoneros composed Santucho Mario Roberto, Roberto Quiet, Fernando Vaca Narvaja, Enrique Gorriaran Melo, Domingo and Marcos Menna Osatinsky able to escape from the maximum security prison Rawson and board a plane at the airport in Trelew waited for the other fellow. The plane is taking off and heading to Chile and Cuba. The second group consists of members of these organizations get to the airport without the possibility of delayed takeoff. Trelew Airport take 19 companions Santucho Ana Villarreal, Carlos Astudillo, Eduardo Capello, Carlos del Rey, José Mena, Clarisa Lea Place, Humberto Suarez, Humberto Toschi, Jorge Ulla, Mario Delfino, Alfredo Kohon, Miguel Angel Polti, Mariano Pujadas, Ricardo Haidar, Susan Lesgart, Sabelli Angélica María, María Antonia Berger, Alberto Camps and my husband Ruben Bonet then be taken to the Base Almirante Zar.
was the largest operation that was conceived a unified way by organizations and non-Peronist Peronist in the years of militancy.
General Lanusse's government declares state of emergency and the area is under the command of V Corps of the army.
Upon learning of the leak, the families of the comrades decided to travel to Rawson and rent a small plane. Separately, lawyers for the partners (Drs Ortega Peña, Duhalde, Galin, Gonzalez Garland and Mattarollo) also travel to Rawson remises.
These companions were very young (between 20 and 30 years), most of the relatives were parents, there were few who already had wives and children. Rawson, we're about to talk to the military que estaban al mando en la región, otros, con la iglesia y otros con políticos. Queríamos que les hagan llegar mantas y comida y sobretodo que supieran que nos estábamos ocupando de ellos. Pero nadie nos escuchó, seguimos tratando de hacer algo y nos detuvieron.
En la comisaría de Rawson, estaba con los padres de Mariano, de Susana, de Maria Angélica, entre otros, nos tomaron las impresiones digitales y nos hicieron el prontuario mientras nos "aconsejaban" que volviéramos a nuestras casas. Esta era la condición para liberarnos. Los "viejos" no podían creer que se las agarraran con ellos y me decian: "yo soy medico en mi pueblo y lo único que quiero saber es cómo esta mi hija, ¿por Why not let me go near her? "-" If my son did what he thought he had to do, why are they grab me? "-" Hey do you think I have gangster face? ". They had force , humor, pride in the way they had chosen their children. To exit, the police promised that we would leave our homes.
We went to Trelew and continue to seek information. I was a teacher and worked with "New Man" of that so I got pictures of the airport when he was taken and a tape on television in the press conference. In that tape, the fellow explained the reasons for their struggles and negotiations before tried to unit. At that time, was them at the airport with the journalists and Chubut Day, Dr. Mario Abel Amaya, lawyer, Judge Godoy and Dr. Viglione, a doctor who checked and verified that they were in good health. In the negotiations, authorized his transfer back to prison in Rawson: Captain Sosa gives "his word of honor." Mariano speaks for Montoneros, Maria Antonia of the FAR and Ruben of ERP. Sign a document. However, eventually leading to the Base Almirante Zar.
that press conference is immortalized in the movie "Neither forget nor forgive" Raymundo Gleyzer.
try to go to the Base but the military was checking everywhere, make us stop and take us Trelew to the police station. The lawyers are facing a tight circle of silence that prevents them from contact with detainees and jail Base Rawson. The stop also for identification, like drivers of limos that led. Doctors Solari Irigoyen Amaya and local lawyers who were not able to make contact with prisoners and Dr Amaya is stopped. Quiroga and Godoy judges do not receive habeas corpus petition or lawyers. The lawyer called a press conference on the study of Dr. Romero and Dr. Amaya. Soon after, the studio is raided. What forces make their statements on the street. The next day we all decided to return to our homes.
On 22 August, very early, I hear on the radio, one of the first versions of the military saying that the political prisoners attempted to escape on the basis that there are deaths and injuries. Immediately, all the families we come in contact with lawyers. They tell us to go directly to the Airport to go to Trelew, especially advise us not to go through their offices or the Bar Association of which we used to meet, because they had received death threats .. Shortly after a bomb explodes and destroys the local Association.
I explain to my children, Hernán 5 years and 4 years old Mariana led them band-aids to heal the father and uncles and aunts who had fought with the military (for two years that they visited their father in prison of Devoto and Rawson) and left with a cousin of mine. Volume
an air taxi with several relatives and Drs. Landaburu, Sandler, Cavin and Lombardi, lead me to my house first, to Bahia Blanca because Reuben is on the injured list for the radio ads and press to go to the Naval Hospital where they found the wounded. They are heading to where the dead Rawson. When I go to a lawyer who came to seek the Naval Hospital of Bahia Blanca, the radio announced that Ruben has just died. In the naval hospital tell me that never got there Ruben, were only Haidar, Camps and Berger. Return, then Ezeiza to retrieve the casket. Upon arrival, recover my children and learned that the bodies of comrades were sent to their places of birth in Rosario, Córdoba, Tucumán, Entre Ríos, Santa Fé, Santiago del Estero, Capital and Pergamino in my case. Surely, seeing the student and popular demonstrations that were taking place spontaneously everywhere, the military decided in this way avoid popular funeral. A Capital, reach the bodies of Eduardo Capello, Maria Angelica Sabelli and Ana Maria Villarreal de Santucho. Who would be veiled in Justicialista Headquarters Avenida de La Plata and later brutally evicted.
I take a bus to go to Parchment with my children, I explain that it could not cure dad and uncles and aunts who were dead. Mariana, my daughter wanted to know if the uncle had also died Pacifier (Eduardo Capello, was his favorite). They started asking me questions about death "how to breathe and eat it in a drawer?" They drew pictures for his dad, that I stuck in the drawer.
While I was never convinced, and Reuben, and Mariano, nor the other fellow might have made a single gesture to escape. Had a strong moral revolution, and had been tortured and knew they were surrounded by the Marina, the place was in the desert, which had no communication with the outside. I just thought that they had killed in cold blood, despite the "official" version which increased the confusion. In those years, there was no history that would have killed a large group of political prisoners in the country and we all began to speak of "Slaughter" to people who disagreed with the armed groups.
When I get Pergamino, in the same way that all family members were interrogated by the police, they had to sign a military order that had no ceremony, wake, and that family should be buried immediately. To me, it was impossible to accept these conditions, I wanted to see than it was in the drawer was Ruben and what he had done. So I left the drawer in the morgue and started to make arrangements with the police to open the drawer. It was not easy, as circulated in the village, the ERP was to recover the body with which the cemetery was surrounded by military. In the end, amid threats and talks, I can identify. I go with a pencil and paper, write everything I see, it was Reuben, had bruises, had species of large moles (I later learned was the entrance of bullets) and a part of her head smashed.
I hear, then, that in different parts of the country opened the drawers, which were huge demonstrations and tanks had driven Justicialista Headquarters.
From that moment, I was convinced that he could not hide the truth of what had happened, it was necessary to report it so that no further killing with impunity.
few days after beginning the trial titled "Alicia Bonet against the State (High Command of the Navy)" in the Court of First Instance No. 6. The judge ordered an autopsy of Reuben. At autopsy, it lists 3 away gunshot wounds (not fatal) and a head wound bullet of another type of projectile, fired at close range at which verifies that it is "a coup de grace" which they wrote medical examiners is mortal ..
The same trial is initiated by the family of Ana Villareal Santucho represented by Dr. Manuela Santucho. On October 26, 1972 accompany my lawyer Dr. Mario Diehl Gainza the Villa Devoto prison where the court was to take statements from the three survivors. They are present all fellow lawyers. First says Alberto Camps, then Ricardo Haidar and finally Maria Antonia Berger who despite being wounded and held incommunicado named Lt. Bravo, Sergeant Marechal, the officer explained Sosa and similar details how they proceeded to shoot. Between what accounts say that Ruben was on the floor of the infirmary of the base Almirante Zar, without assistance care, but alive, until 12 30 in which they are transferred to the Naval Hospital in Delhi by plane. The death certificate that gives me the Navy says, died on August 22, 1972 at 12h55 violent death. Who and why was shot 2 times a Reuben? I hope your answers in the trial.
These testimonies were collected by Francisco Urondo on 23 May 1973 in Villa Devoto prison, were published in two books "Trelew" and "Trelew, nobody's home."
The trial proceeded until 1974, when he began acting with the triple murders and bombings. When Reuben killed attorney, Dr. Rodolfo Ortega Peña, talked with parents Mariano, Susana, Clarisa and I said "but darling, do not worry about us, we are elderly, take care you and the kids." They could not imagine such cruelty!
Juan Gelman writes in 1972 "Glory", verses foreboding of what would happen:
.. Is not the blood run shot in Trelew? ...
... is there any place in the country where that blood is not running now ?....
I will relate some of the cases of "the blood that ran on" after Trelew:

With them removed Legal Defense and Justice was silenced. Those who were saved lived in hiding until leaving the country.

I married a second wife on 17 May 1974 and July 1974, I went to live in hiding with my family, when my co-workers of teaching I was told that the military had gone to fetch me to school and that the director had been ordered to capture my part of the Navy. In 1975 I delivered my third child in hiding. In 1977, after several years of changes of address, change of schools for the kids that were annotated with other names, we left the country with false documents to Brazil and ask for political asylum and was finally in 1978 France recognized us as political refugees.
