Disappeared Argentina activists’ son finds family after 40 years

(UTV|COLOMBO) – An man whose parents were abducted by Argentinean secret service agents in 1977 has been reunited with his biological family.

Javier Darroux Mijalchuk was just four months old when his father and pregnant mother disappeared in Buenos Aires.

He was later adopted by a family who didn’t know his background.

But a few years ago, he started to doubt his true identity, and sought help from the human rights organisation Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo.

The group tracks down the children of dissidents killed or forcibly disappeared during Argentina’s military dictatorship, which lasted from 1976 to 1983, and introduces them to their biological families.
