Description:

The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo activist group celebrate the finding of "Grandchild No. 140." in Buenos Aires. Nearly five decades after he was born in a dictatorship-era detention center and snatched from his mother, the man becomes the 140th person identified as one of Argentina's hundreds of "stolen grandchildren." Rights groups say about 30,000 people died or disappeared under the brutal rule, including babies born to young activist women who were arrested and "disappeared" by Argentina's 1976-1983 military dictatorship.
