| Subject: After years of searching, Argentina activist finds stolen grandson Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:53 pm | |
| An Argentine grandmother whose rights group has fought to find babies stolen during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship finally found her long-lost grandson Tuesday, 36 years after he was snatched from his mother.
Estela Carlotto, the 83-year-old leader of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo group, was told that her dead daughter's missing son was found after DNA tests confirmed the 36-year-old man's identity.
"I thank all of you, God and life, because I didn't want to die without hugging him," Carlotto said with a broad smile at her organization's headquarters, surrounded by her colleagues, three surviving children, 14 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The white-haired grandmother said she could not wait to finally meet her missing grandson, who was taken away from his mother, Laura, after she gave birth while detained during the dictatorship's "dirty war" against leftists.
