Due to Condor’s top secret nature, there are no official lists of victims. However, recent research has indicated that there must have been at least 805 victims of transnational repression in South America between August 1969 and February 1981. The victims came from diverse backgrounds: most of them (40%) were political and social activists; 36% were members of revolutionary armed groups; 13% did not have any affiliation; and 5% were individuals with official refugee status. Victims came from all seven South American countries that were members of Operation Condor but three groups stand out: Uruguayans account for approximately half of the victims (48%), followed by Argentines (23%), and Chileans (14%).
