A major trial, nicknamed "the ESMA mega-trial", of 63 people accused of crimes against humanity ("lesa humanidad") during the 1976-1983 dictatorship, including those involved in death flights, was reaching its close in July 2015. 830 witnesses and 789 victims were heard. There had been two previous trials after the Supreme Court struck down an amnesty the military dictatorship had granted its members; in the first the one accused committed suicide before a verdict was reached; in a 2009 trial, twelve defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment. The trial was still in progress , and was being covered in a dedicated blog, "Causa ESMA", with links to video reports of significant court sentences and similar events; many items are selected from the Argentine "Infojus Noticias" (National Agency of judicial news) Web site, Nacionales section.
