Argentine priest’s conviction raises old specters – Father Christian Federico von Wernich
Tagged: crime, detention, detention center, latin america, prisonPosted on: October 22nd, 2007“He was a Catholic priest who roamed the gulag of secret Argentine detention centers like a kind of spiritual predator.
“The life of men depends on God — and on your collaboration,” Father Christian Federico von Wernich once advised an inmate before betraying the prisoner’s trust, according to testimony.
Von Wernich, 69, was sentenced to life in prison this month for crimes against humanity, the first priest convicted of human rights abuses during Latin America’s era of military dictatorships and civil wars.”*
