Ricardo Miguel CAVALLO, an Argentine former naval captain was arrested last August in Mexico, where a judge has since ruled that he can be extradited to Spain to face charges of genocide and terrorism committed in Argentina. Amnesty International is concerned that if the former officer is not extradited or else tried in Mexico, he may never be brought to justice. .
