Argentinian activist Lidia 'Taty' Almeida, known for her decades-long search for her disappeared son, died at 95 on Sunday in Buenos Aires. Almeida led the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, advocating for justice since 1977, after her son Alejandro was kidnapped in 1975. Tributes have poured in, with former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner calling her an 'indefatigable fighter'.
