Pope to receive Estela de Carlotto

(ANSA) - Rome, November 3 - Pope Francis on Wednesday will receive the founder and leader of an Argentinian grandmothers' association that seeks children stolen and illegally adopted during the country's Dirty War, Vatican sources said Monday.
    The Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo (Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo) were set up to track down grandchildren abducted from female prisoners who gave birth in secret detention centers during the military dictatorship of 1976-1984.
    "We are proud of the Argentine pope," Estela de Carlotto told ANSA ahead of her audience with Francis.
    She will be bringing several family members, including Ignacio Guido, the son of her daughter Laura, who was abducted while pregnant, tortured and killed by the military 36 years ago.
    While Laura's bullet-riddled body was returned to her mother, Laura's child was not. Estela recovered him in August this year, thanks to a DNA bank set up by families and survivors of the dictatorship.
    "We will all be there, a total of 18 Carlottos," she said.
