In Uruguay, senators have voted to annul a law granting amnesty for crimes committed under the country’s 1973-1985 dictatorship. Macarena Gelman, the daughter of a dictatorship victim, praised the vote.

Macarena Gelman: “This is only the beginning, because once there is justice, you can act freely, and we are just now able to start down that path.”

The measure now goes to Urugay’s lower house, which approved a similar bill last year.
