More than twenty years of tireless effort finally paid off for Uruguayan Sara Mendez on March 19 when she was reunited with her son, Simon Riquelo. Mendez had help from an Uruguayan lawmaker, human rights groups, a journalist, and an Argentine judge in finally locating her son. Mendez was arrested July 13, 1976, in Argentina. When she was detained, her 20-day-old son was taken from her. Mendez, 32 at the time, was captured as part of Operation Condor, the coordinated repression by Southern Cone military regimes aimed at eliminating political opponents during the 1970s and 1980s (see NotiSur, 2000-07-07, 2002-03-08).
