There are no words to describe the number of families who had to suffer in the D2 secret detention center. My first thoughts were how could this be so secretive with it being in the middle of the city? There are apartment buildings that sit right behind the upstairs torture room, and from that same window, you can view where the Bishop lives. It makes me wonder how many people actually knew what was taking place within this detention center, but didn’t speak out due to fear. I am thankful for people like Carlos Raymundo Moore, better known as “Charlie”, who was held captive here illegally for six years before escaping. He was able to inform the UNHCR of the atrocities committed by the Provincial Police. His testimony has been important for many prosecutions that happened after the end of the Dirty War.

As stated in ‘Prosecuting Human Rights from a Prior Regime’, we can understand that although many countries have transferred from either authoritarian or totalitarian to now modern democracies. There is still a possibility that prosecution can happen even when a new regime has replaced the old one. I feel the new regime should disclose all information concerning the old regime so that the proper prosecution could take place. There shouldn’t be any information withheld that could hinder people or their families from receiving the justice that they need. Memorial sites such as this one could be viewed as helpful so that the memories never die, but until justice is served will there ever truly be any healing?
