Jorge Julio López (born 1929, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) is an Argentine retired bricklayer, who was kidnapped during the National Reorganization Process, and disappeared again during the democratic government of President Néstor Kirchner after testifying in trial against Dirty War criminal Miguel Etchecolatz.〔National Office of Records of Disappeared Persons, (Jorge Julio López ).〕 López was kidnapped and taken to different clandestine detention centres during the dictatorship known as National Reorganization Process ((スペイン語:Proceso de Reorganización Nacional), 1976–1983). He was subject to torture and remained detained without formal charges or trial from October 21, 1976 until June 25, 1979. ==Trial witness, and disappearance== About thirty years after the end of the military government, the laws known as Due Obedience and Full Stop, which blocked investigations of crimes committed by members of the military and the police during the dictatorship, were repealed. Miguel Etchecolatz was the first defendant in a Dirty War-related trial. During the first part of the National Reorganization Process, Etchecolatz was the Director of Investigations of the Buenos Aires Provincial Police, head of one of the clandestine detention centres, and the right hand of former General Ramón Camps. López was a key witness in his trial. His testimony involved 62 military and policemen, and thanks in part to this, Etchecolatz was sentenced to life imprisonment. Lopez "disappeared just hours before he was slated to give his final testimony on the eve of the conviction of the former police investigator," on September 18, 2006, according to the story "Missing Witness Awakens Dark Past," by Marie Trigona of the Americas Program of the International Relations Center published on October 12, 2006.〔Rigona, Maria (''Argentina: Missing Witness Awakens Dark Past'' ), International Relations Center, October 12, 2006, accessed on 7 February 2008〕 He was last seen at his home in the city of La Plata, 40 km. south of Buenos Aires. The initial hypothesis, that assumed that López had suffered a traumatic shock when reliving his torture during the trial and had subsequently wandered off lost, was discarded. Another hypothesis, that he had gone voluntarily into hiding fearing retribution for his statement against Etchecolatz, was discredited as well.〔(Where is Julio Lopez? )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disappearance of Jorge Julio López」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
