The Dirty War is over, and basic human rights are now generally respected in Argentina, Nevertheless, victims families are still experience difficulty obtaining closure for past human rights violations in Argentina, and some violations are still taking place to this day. The fate of thirty-thousand "disappeared" during the dirty war is still unknown, and the Government, shielding itself behind two laws that pardoned all those responsible for the tortures and killings, has no plans to further investigate the fate of the disappeared. Children (teenagers now), taken away from the arms of their disappeared parents, continue to grow away from their real families, not knowing their true identity. Journalists are harassed for writing articles offensive to the government, and sometimes even beaten up or killed. Conditions in jails are inhuman, beatings at police stations commonplace, and disappearances at the hand of the police are not unheard of. Prisoners often stay in jail for years before being tried for their alleged crimes. There is at least one prisoner of conscience, Fray Antonio Puigjane, who has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for his beliefs.
