Uruguay - December 2025

On 22 December, the Fray Bentos Court in Uruguay sentenced nine retired military officers to prison terms ranging from 11 to 15 years for crimes committed during the 1973-1985 military dictatorship. They were convicted of serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detentions and systematic torture, with the case highlighting the torture and death of Dr. Vladimir Roslik, the dictatorship's last known victim. The court classified these acts as crimes against humanity and issued a formal apology on behalf of the state to the victims and their families. This ruling marks a pivotal step toward addressing historical injustices and reaffirming the state's commitment to truth, justice, and reparation.
