In Argentina, the government has filed a lawsuit against two of the biggest media corporations, accusing them of human rights violations during the bloody military dictatorship in the 1970s and 80s. This follows the release of a 26,000-page investigation into the companies alleged crimes. But this issue goes beyond past events. At the center is Papel Prensa, the country´s biggest newsprint producer. President Cristina Kirchner and other officials want to declare paper production in the public interest, citing the effect of the near-monopoly on small newspapers. Marcos Federman has more.

my opinion

I guess international community should do some action to address this concern. It has been a problem for almost many countries, human right violation. They should implement a strong law that would protect everyone's right.
