Spain Isn’t Crying for Isabel

The National Court on Monday ruled that the accusations against Peron, 77, could not be termed crimes against humanity and that there was insufficient evidence of her involvement.
The court ruled, therefore, that she could not be extradited.
Peron is wanted by a judge for questioning over the disappearance of 24-year-old Hector Aldo Fagetti Gallego and the arrest of a minor, Jorge Valentin Beron, in 1976.
Another judge wants to question her as part of a probe into the Anti-communist Alliance, a death squad blamed for killing at least 1,500 government opponents from 1973-1976.


Now I am not exactly sure how “disappearing” isn’t a human rights crime or a crime against humanity. It is also really interesting to note this decision when compared to the Spanish court’s actions with regards to another South American dictator, Augusto Pinochet.
