Argentine chiefs jailed for life

Advertisement

Two Argentine ex-generals have received life sentences for human rights violations during the 1970s.

Antonio Bussi, 82, and Luciano Benjamin Menendez, 81, were sent to prison for the kidnapping and disappearance of a former senator in April 1976.

They were senior members of a military government during a time when tens of thousands of people were tortured and killed.

Jim Fish reports.
