Among the various printed materials is ratified, the costs of the meetings of the City Council Mobile Rosario years 2006 and 2007, were adopted different rules related to the subject and that in 2008, was held a day of "reflection and tribute to the religious / o victims of state terrorism during the military dictatorship in our country, "Sessions at the Exhibition, Rosario City Council, organized by the CIECET and Human Rights Commission of CMR. Saving some of the preamble to the rules, for example in the "year 2,006 ... ... The 30th anniversary of the coup, and in the context of the commemorations that were made throughout the year, where both the official and non-governmental organizations, will remind the religious of all faiths who were victims of state terrorism and that many of the priests, pastors, catechists, workers and lay people who did own their option for the poor suffered untold suffering, intimidation, torture, murder ... special cruelty were also citizens of the Jewish community and the Jehovah's Witnesses ... incomplete estimates prepared by the National Commission on Disappeared Persons ( CONADEP), indicated the killing or disappearance of more than 120 religious and / or religious between them of 2 bishops, 18 priests, 11 seminarians, 46 lay Catholics, 40 Protestants (Methodists, Evangelicals ... pastors, workers ...) ... 10 more priests were imprisoned and then released and 34 survived their kidnapping in clandestine detention centers ... Repression reached not only religious but also Argentine foreign ... The Secretariat of Worship considered a true commitment to honor those religious people who lost their lives, suffered persecution, were tortured or simply prevented them from his pastoral work. At the same time, considers it essential that these facts are known by new generations (... Resolution No. 442 of MRECIC ...).
the book "Protestant churches and human rights in Argentina" (which is used as material for study and reflection on the various conference organized by the CIECET ... recommend reading the public in general and evangelical Christians in particular ...), we extract the following "... the difficult times facing the country which demanded a joint effort. He already had a story covered in that regard. In Argentina was not new for Christians of different faiths come together seeking to find a place for life and peace. Fifteen years before, in 1961, was organized in the Río de la Plata, the Fellowship of Reconciliation and Peace, whose greatest exponent was the pastor Earl Smith who lived in Uruguay and was accompanied by the Methodist Bishop Carlos Gattinoni, architect Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Federico Pagura then pastor and the pastor Mortimer Arias, at the time and Methodist Bishop of Bolivia ... During the first months of 1976 was formed the Ecumenical Movement for Human Rights (MEDH) ...
The leadership
MEDH should be noted the figure of Bishop Federico Pagura Methodist Church, the Methodist minister Emilio Monti (now both pastoralists living in the city of Rosario) ...
The main task of this body during the early years of the dictatorship was to denounce the systematic violation of human rights, especially against the churches and organizations that defend human rights abroad. Another aspect of his work was to provide legal and pastoral support to the families of the victims. In the early years of the dictatorship was remarkable performance of many evangelical ministers opened their churches to be reunited there who wanted to resist the terror, including the relatives of the disappeared who were beginning to organize their claims ...
As a result of its commitment to various Protestant churches and many of its members were targets of bombings, kidnappings and threats on many occasions. According to the documentation and investigation conducted by the MEDH, the sum of missing and murdered people during this period is evangelical about 40. Although it is likely to be more, because there is no information about victims who have been members of Pentecostal churches, Baptist and other denominations are not linked to the institution, the church nor were mechanisms to channel the complaint themselves or to public military authorities.
There are facts corresponds to evoke specific as emblematic cases that show how these threats became much concrete acts of aggression. On 4 October 1976 was the First Methodist Church raided the city of Rosario where he worked the Coordinating Committee of UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). That church will be SIXTY PERSONS ARRESTED. Ernesto Pastor Nielsen in a sermon after saying these facts: - Our participation in the current problems of the country and the continent will require many times be at risk, in obedience to the vocation of service to the Lord Jesus Christ gave us - ...
As was customary in those days, the victims of repression ended up being the perpetrators of such acts deserve ...
committed sector of the Catholic Church was also hit hard at all levels. Bishop Angelelli of La Rioja was killed ... Ponce de Leon Bishop of the Diocese of St. Nicholas ... the French nuns of Foreign Missions, Alice Domon and Leonie Duquet ... included among the seminarians Salvador Barbeito and Emilio Barletti, the Palotina community ...
The military had seized political power, defined themselves as devout Catholics who came to defend the Western lifestyle and Christian alleged alien forces that sought to dissolve. The Alte. Emilio Massera told the magazine Famiglia Cristiana in 1977: - We, when we act as a political power, we remain Catholics ... But like all we act out of love, which is the basis of our religion, we have no problems ... - Yet the brutality and viciousness with which these sectors were repressed committed Christians both Catholic and evangelical, made clear that his Christianity declaimed was nothing more than an ideological instrument to channel despicable feelings toward any expression of genuine faith that could emerge from the daily lives of the people. Many witnesses recalled seeing repression Catholic symbols such as crucifixes or images of the Virgin Mary in the walls of some rooms of suffering or in places of detention. This hurts the sensitivity of any individual Catholic faithful and sincere, was a way back inside the military force to assert the sacredness of the struggle that took place and to legitimize it by invoking the safeguard of religious values \u200b\u200bconstitute true nationality Argentina. In his look offered a psychological support for the torturers who were supported by God to perform degrading acts of human consciousness .... "
The city of Rosario and its people suffered the consequences of the coup, and the faithful practitioner of your faith, were not exempt from persecution and operation of a sinister plan, which led to death yet citizens (martyr), for their commitment to God and his neighbor / citizen.
the word "martyr" in Greek is "Witness", the "martyrdom" is the "testimony." And both are referred to the legal language (though not necessarily legal). Certainly one can be witness to something, but not to testify, in which case this silencing true, or it can attest that what we have not witnessed, in which case we fail to tell the truth. The WITNESS / MARTYR us to the TRUTH ...
... Considering the different opportunities that the CMR and MR, has to recognize, guarantee and protect the rights and obligations of citizens, especially in the field of Human Rights, the issue that concerns us, is so broad and deep (... and same time, it is essential that this tragic page in our history be known by new generations. The construction of a memory stands as a fundamental foundation of our democracy ...) that this brief presentation, only serves to continue a path initiated in conjunction (between citizens represented and representatives), with wisdom and responsibility, which ratified the terms and documentation in a timely delivered, by our Organization, not secure the representation of "evangelicals" in particular, recognizing the different organizations work and Ecclesiastical (especially FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS) and secular (in defense of human rights), the city of Rosario and Santa Fe province, that strive for this and other issues .... "
As part of the work of our church organizations in the city of Rosario, compliance is still pending (although it has a record requested by the Municipality of Rosario - with more than one year of claims and negotiations, and hoping that the relevant area of \u200b\u200bgovernment to meet its obligations in a democratic state is currently in Ministry of Culture and Education of the MR), Decree No. 29,162 / Year 2007 (Municipal Council of Rosario), which authorizes the "Center for Research, Study and Training Ecclesiastical and Theological (CIECET), joined the Fellowship of Christian Leaders (CLC), to place a "monolith to remember and pay tribute to victims of Religious and Religious Terrorism State "in the Forest of Remembrance, located in the Parque Scalabrini Ortiz (was approved by the Human Rights Commission, the Commission of Government and Culture, membership and support of the Museum of Memory and the favorable opinion Special Committee on Nomenclature and Erection of Monuments and the subsequent approval by the City Council of the city of Rosario, by unanimous vote of the / as Councillors / attendees at the meeting), which makes the city of Rosario in the 1 st community inside the country that made this recognition (the erection of the monolith and DAY, is a probable date in the second half of 2011), adding the admissions made in the year 2,006, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, in the city of Buenos Aires, which calls on the grounds of the Plaza San Martín a plaque.
