Daughter of Argentine Genocide Convict Rejects His House Arrest


Published 12 January 2018

After receiving news of Miguel Etchecolatz's house arrest, his daughter said: "At 47, I never thought we would suffer such a setback in human rights.”

Mariana Dopazo, the daughter of Argentine dictatorship-era officer Miguel Etchecolatz, published a letter asking that her father be returned to prison "until the end of his days" because that would be "just."

Dopazo, who adopted her mother's last name to cut ties with her biological father, argued that Etchecolatz "never regretted a centimeter of his actions" and remained "loyal [...] to those who planned the massacre."

During his tenure under the brutal dictatorship, Etchecolatz headed 21 clandestine detention centers for the military junta in the 1970s and 1980s in which at least 30,000 people were disappeared by state forces.
