Jorge Rafael Videla Summary |
 | | Jorge Rafaél Videla was born on August 2, 1925, in Mercedes, Argentina, a large provincial city 75 miles from the capital of Buenos Aires. |
 | | Videla's supporters, on the other hand, maintain that he only reluctantly became involved in politics and that his relatively moderate policies were increasingly undercut by right-wing military hard-liners, who operated with almost complete independence, carrying out repressive measures against the Argentine populace as they saw fit. |
 | | Videla spent 38 days in the old part of the Caseros Prison, and was later transferred to house arrest due to health issues. |
