Editing Sergio Astrada (section)

== Conviction and imprisonment ==

Argentine authorities arrested Astrada at his residence in 2025, following investigations into crimes committed during the Falklands War. His medical examination documented the continuing effects of his stroke, and he was initially placed under house arrest.

He was later transferred to Georgetown to appear before the [[Georgetown Tribunal]]. Prosecutors examined his failure to investigate the 2016 killing of British prisoners near Port Howard. The tribunal found that Astrada had sufficient knowledge of the killings and had failed to take the measures available to him against the soldiers under his command. He was convicted of war crimes under command responsibility and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2025.

Astrada suffered a second stroke in 2026 while imprisoned in Georgetown. He survived, but his mobility deteriorated and his difficulties communicating became more pronounced. Unable to walk independently, he required assistance with daily activities. Prison authorities transferred him to a medical detention ward, where he continued serving his sentence.
