Three military leaders who ran secret detention centres in Argentina during the last military dictatorship are sent to prison. Eighty-year-old retired Colonel Alberto Barda ran the La Cueva centre in Mar del Plata and was sentenced to life in prison, but the court said he could serve his term under house arrest due to his age. Two other former brigadiers received 25 year sentences. Joanna Partridge reports.
