Another sentence for Argentine ex-dictator

BUENOS AIRES - The last military president in Argentina's 1976-1983 dictatorship received another prison sentence on Tuesday, this time for the kidnapping and torture of 32 factory workers.

 

A court in Buenos Aires sentenced Reynaldo Bignone to 23 years in prison for the human rights violations. The workers were forcibly disappeared by the military during the so-called Dirty War against leftist dissidents and other opponents.

 

The 86-year-old Bignone is already serving combined life sentences in more than two dozen cases involving crimes against humanity.
