DNA tests confirm 131st baby stolen during Argentina's "dirty war," human rights group says

DNA tests have confirmed that a man was taken from his mother as a baby during Argentina's dictatorship, a human rights group said Thursday, increasing the number of this type of case to 131.

Estela de Carlotto, president of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, said at a news conference that the man, whose name was not released, was determined to be the biological son of Lucía Ángela Nadín and Aldo Hugo Quevedo.

Nadín and Quevedo, who were from the western province of Mendoza, belonged to an armed leftist group and were detained in late 1977 in the capital of Buenos Aires. Nadín was about two or three months pregnant at the time.
