In Argentina, students and activists have begun organizing various activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ‘Noche de los Lápices’, an event marking the disappearance of students during the country’s last military dictatorship. In San Fernando, Buenos Aires, the Unión de Estudiantes Secundarios (UES) coordinated a march from Plaza Canal to Escuela de Educación Secundaria N°6 José Gervasio Artigas to honor the memory of 20 disappeared students. This regional mobilization served as a precursor to a larger scheduled event in La Plata. In Paraná, a police operation targeted young activists using paint and stencils to promote upcoming commemorations near Plaza Alberdi. Legal representatives for the Multisectorial de Derechos Humanos de Entre Ríos criticized the intervention, with lawyer José Iparraguirre describing the deployment of officers armed with long weapons as ‘absolutely disproportionate.’ ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Paraná police operation targets students commemorating La Noche de los Lápices Police in Paraná, Argentina, conducted a large-scale operation against students using stencils to commemorate ‘La Noche de los Lápices,’ drawing criticism from human rights defenders. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paran-police-operation-targets-students-commemorating-la-noche-de-los-lpices ### 2026-09-06: Students in San Fernando march to commemorate Noche de los Lápices Students in San Fernando, Argentina, marched to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ‘Noche de los Lápices’ and honor victims of state terrorism during the country's last dictatorship. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/students-in-san-fernando-march-to-commemorate-noche-de-los-lpices --- Cite as: Argentina Noche de los Lápices commemorations.
