BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Former Argentinian President Reynaldo Bignone was sentenced Tuesday to 23 more years in prison for human rights violations during the Dirty War.
An Argentinian court found him guilty of kidnapping and torturing more than 30 factory workers, most of whom were trade union activists, in a violent campaign to squelch the left-wing opposition.
