Argentina advances bill to compensate AMIA victims
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA bill to compensate victims of the 1994 AMIA Jewish center bombing was advanced by two Argentine government committees.
Yesterday, a joint meeting of the Senate Budget Committee and Justice and Criminal Issues Committee agreed unanimously to send the measure to the entire Senate. The Senate is expected to take up the bill today in its first session of the season.
The plan, which was drafted by the government’s Executive Committee, establishes a one-time compensation for the estates of the 85 people killed and lower compensations for those who suffered “extremely grievous” injuries and “grievous” injuries. Hundreds were injured in the bombing.
