In Libertad Prison
By William L. Wipfler
The following description of conditions at Libertad Prison in Montevideo, Uruguay, is excerpted from the International Red Cross 'Mission Report: Brazil—Argentina—Uruguay, February 10—March 3, 1980.' This document was written as an internal report by Jean François Labarthe, a Red Cross representative who visited Uruguay early in 1980. When some of its findings were reported in the press, the Red Cross mission was banned in Uruguay, and Uruguayan military authorities have made it clear that similar Red Cross missions will not be allowed into the country.
