STATE TERRORISM IN ARGENTINA

Civic-Military Dictatorship of Uruguay (1973-1985)

»The civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (Spanish: Dictadura cívico-militar de Uruguay) (1973–1985), also known as the Uruguayan Dictatorship (Spanish: Dictadura uruguaya), was a military dictatorship that ruled Uruguay for almost 12 years, from June 27, 1973 (after the 1973 coup d'état) until March 1, 1985. The dictatorship has been the subject of much controversy due to its violations of human rights, use of torture, and the unexplained disappearances of many Uruguayans. The term "civic-military" refers to the military regime's relatively gradual usurpation of power from civilian presidents who continued to serve as head of state, which distinguished it from dictatorships in other South American countries in which senior military officers immediately seized power and directly served as head of state.
The dictatorship was the culmination of an escalation of violence and authoritarianism in a traditionally peaceful and democratic country, and existed within the context of other military dictatorships in the region. It resulted in the suppression of all former political activity, including the traditional political parties. Many people were imprisoned and tortured, especially Uruguayans with left-wing sympathies.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
