In December 1977 forces of the Argentine military junta abducted two French nuns, Alice Dumon and Lėonie Duquet. Targeted for their work with Mothers of the Disappeared, they were tortured and then tossed from an airplane into the Atlantic Ocean.

There is a street in the 13th district of Paris named after these two courageous religious women.

Never forget that the CIA trained, encouraged and supported the Argentine junta, in its savage "Dirty War", against "subversives" (like, nuns). America has yet to issue a real apology, because, "Being American, means never having to say 'I'm sorry'".
