A black and white photograph of military perpetrators during Argentina's 1976 coup d'état. Prominent military leaders, including Jorge Rafael Videla (center), stand at attention in uniforms behind multiple microphones. Videla reads from a paper, symbolizing the Junta Militar's formal announcement of their seizure of power. Other perpetrators, Emilio Massera (left) and Orlando Ramón Agosti (right), flank Videla, representing the Argentine Army, Navy, and Air Force, key orchestrators of state terrorism during the dictatorship.
