| description |
In February 2022, the eighth trial for crimes against humanity began in Bahía Blanca and is currently in the final arguments stage. Within the framework of this oral debate, various acts of repression carried out in small towns in the southern province of Buenos Aires were reviewed for the first time. Broadly speaking, these operations consisted of military forces raiding the towns, meticulously searching them, and the subsequent kidnapping of numerous people, many of whom were later transferred to Bahía Blanca and held in clandestine detention facilities. This paper seeks to present some notes on the reconstruction of these operations in the judicial setting, in order to support, in turn, a reflection on the local nature that the judicial process for crimes against humanity has acquired in each territory. |

En febrero de 2022 comenzó en Bahía Blanca el octavo juicio por delitos de lesa humanidad y, actualmente, se encuentra en etapa de alegatos finales. En el marco de este debate oral se han revisado, por primera vez, distintos hechos represivos llevados a cabo en pequeñas localidades del sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires. En líneas generales estos operativos consistían en la irrupción de las fuerzas militares en los poblados, un minucioso rastrillaje de los mismos y el consecuente secuestro de numerosas personas, muchas de las cuales fueron luego trasladadas a Bahía Blanca e ingresadas en circuitos de detención clandestina. El presente trabajo procura presentar algunas notas en torno a la reconstrucción realizada sobre estos operativos en el escenario judicial, para sustentar, a su vez, la reflexión acerca del carácter local que ha adquirido el proceso de justicia por delitos de lesa humanidad en cada territorio. Em fevereiro de 2022, o oitavo julgamento por crimes contra a humanidade começou em Bahía Blanca e atualmente está na fase de argumentos finais. No âmbito deste debate oral, foram revisados pela primeira vez vários atos de repressão realizados em pequenas cidades do sul da província de Buenos Aires. Em termos gerais, essas operações consistiram em forças militares invadindo as cidades, revistando-as minuciosamente e, posteriormente, sequestrando inúmeras pessoas, muitas das quais foram levadas para Bahía Blanca e mantidas em centros de detenção clandestinos. Este artigo busca apresentar alguns apontamentos sobre a reconstrução dessas operações no âmbito judicial, para, por sua vez, subsidiar uma reflexão sobre o caráter local que o processo de justiça por crimes contra a humanidade adquiriu em cada território.
