Capitan JM Boiso Lanza Air Base
The Uruguayan justice system has taken a significant step towards truth and justice by imprisoning five soldiers: Walter Pintos, Gustavo Carlos Urban, Roberto Cáceres, Enrique Rivero and Juan Antonio Rodríguez. These men face charges for their alleged participation in acts of torture carried out in the clandestine center located at the “Boiso Lanza” air base during the dictatorship in Uruguay.
Processing of Walter Pintos:
Walter Pintos has been prosecuted for “repeated crimes of deprivation of liberty, especially aggravated and very especially aggravated with repeated crimes of private violence.” This prosecution marks progress in the search for justice for victims of abuse during the dictatorship.
Prosecution of Gustavo Carlos Urban:
Gustavo Carlos Urban, another of the soldiers involved, also faces similar accusations for his role in the crimes committed in “Boiso Lanza.” The crimes of deprivation of liberty and private violence have left a scar in the collective memory of Uruguay.
Prosecution of Roberto Cáceres:
Roberto Cáceres joins the list of those accused for his participation in these atrocious crimes. Justice does not forget the horrors of the past and seeks to hold accountable those who committed acts of torture.
Prosecution of Enrique Rivero:
Enrique Rivero faces similar charges for his involvement in crimes committed at the air base. These prosecutions are a reminder that justice may be slow, but it does not forget.
Prosecution of Juan Antonio Rodríguez:
Juan Antonio Rodríguez, the fifth military officer to be prosecuted, faces serious accusations that seek to shed light on the crimes committed in “Boiso Lanza.” Truth and justice are essential to heal the wounds of the past.
“Boiso Lanza” Air Base
The dictatorship in Uruguay left deep scars in society. During that dark period in the country’s history, countless crimes against humanity were committed. The prosecution of these soldiers is a step towards accountability and justice.
Lawyer Óscar López Goldaracena played a crucial role in the search for justice. The process began in 2019, when prosecutor Ricardo Perciballe presented the request for prosecution.
The “Boiso Lanza” air base was a place of terror during the Uruguayan dictatorship. It functioned as a clandestine center where numerous human rights abuses took place. This prosecution is a reminder of the horrors that occurred there.
The accused soldiers face charges of “repeated, especially aggravated crimes of deprivation of liberty.” These crimes involved the illegal detention and deprivation of liberty of innocent people.
In addition to the deprivation of liberty, they are charged with “repeated, especially aggravated crimes of private violence.” Survivors and their families have waited a long time for these crimes to be brought to justice.
The Victims of Boiso Lanza
Jose Arpino Vega:
José Arpino Vega is one of the victims who disappeared in “Boiso Lanza.” His memory lives on in the fight for justice and truth.
Ubagesner Chávez Sosa:
Ubagesner Chávez Sosa was murdered in the clandestine center, and his remains were found in 2005 in an Air Force field known as “the Pando farm.” His tragic fate is a testament to the horrors that occurred in that place.
Julio Pereira Llamas:
Julio Pereira Llamas also lost his life in “Boiso Lanza.” His memory and that of all victims must be honored through the pursuit of justice.
