Durante la dictadura #Argentina, el estado hizo desaparecer por la fuerza a miles de disidentes políticos. Lo hicieron porque tener la condición de "desaparecidos" no los obligó a iniciar una investigación especial, evitando así tener que rendir cuentas sobre #losdesaparecidos.

During #Argentina s Dictatorship, the state forcefully disappeared thousands of political dissidents. They did so because having the status of "missing" did not force them to start a special investigation, letting the state get away with the crime for longer.
