Rights groups say 30,000 people were killed under military rule

Former workers of an Argentine Ford factory are suing the firm over what they say were serious abuses during the military rule of the 1970s and 80s.

They say local managers conspired with the security forces to have union members taken to a detention centre on the premises, where they were tortured. Ford has in the past denied torture took place on its property. Several foreign firms have been probed by the Truth Commission, which said abductions of union members did occur. Via BBC
