| Five consecrated men gunned-down in their own home by a Naval death squad. The killers are known and they are free. The only individual condemned is the journalist who first investigated the massacre. Why should a democratic society tolerate such injustice? |

ARGENTINE SENATE BLOCKS NAVY PROMOTIONS FOR TORTURERS
On Oct. 27 the Argentine Senate voted to block the promotion of two navy officers who the previous week had admitted to torturing political prisoners during the military dictatorship of 1976-83. Frigate captains Antonio Pernias and Juan Carlos Rolon had argued that they were acting on orders from their superiors, and that torture had been the navy's main weapon in its war against the guerrillas.
During the dictatorship, Rolon and Pernias formed part of a "task force" based in the Navy's Mechanics School, where some 5,000 political prisoners and alleged guerrillas were tortured or killed. In his testimony to the Senate, Pernias implicated the Navy in the kidnapping and disappearance of French nuns Alice Domon and Leonie Duquet.
Appealing to the Senate on Oct. 24 to approve the promotions, President Carlos Saul Menem had warned the senators "not to look back...or every time we want to promote a member of the armed forces we will have the same problem." Promotions for Rolon and Pernias had been blocked last year as well, although charges against the two were dismissed thanks to amnesty laws enacted by former president Raul Alfonsin and to Menem's pardons of former commanders found guilty of serious human rights abuses. The two officers now have no further chances for promotion and will have to retire.
