Former Argentine dictator Jorge Rafael Videla was convicted and jailed for 50 years for a systematic plan to steal babies from prisoners who were kidnapped, tortured and killed during the military junta’s war on left-wing dissenters 30 years ago.

Argentina’s last dictator was convicted of more crimes against humanity today, this time getting 15 years in prison for setting up a secret torture centre inside a hospital during the 1976 military coup.
