Protesters in Buenos Aires on Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Jorge Julio Lopez .. believed to have been kidnapped after testifying against Miguel Etchecolatz .. .. for crimes committed during Argentina's Dirty War ... Lopez, 77, had testified that he was abducted in 1976 and held in a clandestine detention center. He disappeared one day before Etchecolatz, the former chief investigator of the Buenos Aires police, became the second official in Argentina to be sentenced .. for crimes against humanity and genocide. Lopez was the first of two witnesses to disappear last year; however, Luis Gerez, who was kidnapped in December 2006, reappeared three days later.
