Pope's visit sparks releases of Argentine political prisoners
Buenos Aires reports 244 prisoners freed as junta signs releases after Pope John Paul II visit. 128 granted full liberty, 116 on parole or conditional release. Overall, 465 political prisoners remain, with 262 awaiting trial. The move follows earlier disclosures of mass arrests since 1974, drawing rights groups' caution about thousands still unaccounted for. Public protests by Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo persist for missing children.
