Editing Jacobo Timerman (section)

===Later events===
In 2003 the Argentine Congress repealed the 1986 [[Ley de Punto Final]]. The government re-opened prosecution of crimes committed during the Dirty War. In 2006 [[Miguel Etchecolatz]], Director of Investigations, in the provincial police, who had overseen Timerman's arrest and torture, was convicted and sentenced to prison. In its sentencing, the 3-judge tribunal described the actions of Etchecolatz against political prisoner as genocide, the first time the term was applied that way in Argentine trials.<ref name="klein">Klein, Naomi.

Macmillan, 2007; {{ISBN|0-8050-7983-1}}, {{ISBN|978-0-8050-7983-8}}, pp. 100–102: "The presiding member of the court, [[Genocides in history#Dirty War in Argentina|Carlos Rozanski]], described the offences as part of a systematic attack intended to destroy parts of society that the victims represented and as such they constituted genocide. Rozanski noted that the International [[Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide]] (CPPCG) does not include in its list of offences the elimination of political groups (that category was removed at the behest of [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]), but the court based its decision on the 11 December 1946 United Nations General Assembly Resolution, unanimously adopted by member-nations, barring acts of genocide 'when racial, religious, political and other groups have been destroyed, entirely or in part', adding that the court considered the original UN definition to be more legitimate than the politically compromised CPPCG definition."</ref>

On 9 October 2007, the Catholic priest [[Christian Von Wernich]], personal confessor of provincial chief of police [[Ramón Camps]] and holding rank of inspector under Etchecolatz, was convicted of involvement in the abduction and torture of Timerman and numerous other political prisoners in the 1970s. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.<ref>{{cite news |title='Dirty War' priest gets life term |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7035294.stm |work=BBC News |date=10 October 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Reclusión perpetua para Von Wernich |trans-title=Life imprisonment for Von Wernich |url=https://www.clarin.com/ultimo-momento/reclusion-perpetua-von-wernich_0_H1yxHIky0te.html |work=Clarin |date=9 October 2007 |language=es }}</ref>
