#THREAD: Today is #InternationalDayoftheDisappeared. This day draws attention to those individuals imprisoned at places and under poor conditions unknown to their loved ones
#InternationalDayoftheDisappeared was created in response to the secret imprisonment, abduction, & forced disappearances of people in a number of Latin American countries.
Those disappeared are known as desparecidos.
