The Uruguayan dictatorship (1973-1985) forced nearly 380,000 people, almost 14% of the population, into exile. Exile began as something temporary in neighboring countries in order to continue the militancy against the regime. To be a militant presupposes that militancy does not make one become a victim. Torture, imprisonment or death was just a consequence of that struggle. During the toughest years of the dictatorial repression, exile stopped being temporary and became something more long lasting and in further away countries. Soon, the various militant organizations abroad realized that in order to denounce the Uruguayan situation in the face of international organizations they must modify their discourse. This was done by adopting the transnational language of Human Rights.
