Argentina tries doctors for 'baby theft' during military rule

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-29248974

Two doctors and a midwife have gone on trial in Argentina charged with kidnapping babies born in captivity to left-wing political prisoners during the 1976-83 military government. It is the first case of medical staff being tried for allegedly falsifying the babies' birth certificates. An estimated 500 children were stolen at birth from their mothers during what was known as the Dirty War.They were then given illegally to other families who raised them as their own.
The real parents were either killed or disappeared.
