Uruguay Begins New Search for Disappeared

Uruguay Begins New Search for Disappeared
Published 16 July 2015

The search will be led by a team of anthropologists.


The Uruguayan government will begin a new effort to find the 192 disappeared people still missing since the last military dictatorship.

With the help of a team of 10 anthropologists from the Republic University, authorities will renew excavations in a military base in Montevideo.

The search had been halted since February due to talks between the university and the government to renew the agreement.

The team of anthropologists will permanently coordinate with the country’s Human Rights Secretary, linked to the Uruguayan presidency.
