Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Find 129th Granddaughter
Published 9 April 2019
The 129th granddaughter discovered her identity thanks to the human rights organization and was able to hug her family that looked for her for 40 years.
The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo organization has confirmed that they have found the daughter of Norma Sintora, who was kidnapped at eight months pregnant, and Carlos Alberto Solsona, who disappeared during the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983).
"Today, let's repair the wounds that the dictatorship left us," said Estela de Carlotto, a Grandmother of the Plaza de Mayo, in a press conference in which the human rights organization celebrated the finding of the 129th granddaughter.
"It is the 129th granddaughter, who will be able to meet her father, her brothers, it is a huge joy," according to a release from the organization during a press conference. The woman lives in Spain and voluntarily submitted to a DNA test on April 3. "Her father is waiting to embrace her, and we ask for the prudence, respect, and confidentiality that this news requires," the head of the Grandmothers said.
