The Crimes of Pinochet - Chile

November 1998
He claimed he was Chile's saviour but devised one of the worst concentration camp regimes since Hitler's 'Grand Plan.' As Chile comes to terms with General Pinochet's death, we offer you the definitive film on his crimes.

Under Pinochet's regime, over a quarter of a million people were detained in prisons like the Chacabuco desert camp. These are the only images to have emerged from his camps and reveal the true horror of his regime. "They must stay here until they realise they are on the wrong path," states the guard at Chacabuco Concentration camp. Nearby prisoners suspected of being Communists are forced to march and sing military songs. One of the victims filmed at the camp was Patricia Letelier. Now, she lives in exile in Scotland and recalls what happened to her at Chacabuco. "I heard shouting and screaming and knew what was waiting for me. Shortly afterwards my own torture began." Powerful images show men kneeling with their hands in the air, being kicked and beaten with the butts of soldiers' guns. Others show men being marched into the stadium stripped naked with blankets over their heads.

Augusto Pinochet was a monster who tortured and killed men, women and children. Anyone who worships this psychopath needs to get their heads checked. I will never worship someone who takes pleasure in torturing men, women and children.

Pinochet, Somoza, and Bautista all put in power by the USA.

@MegaAble1234 true I lived in your country y la verdad es que Allende se suicido

@raderator true and one more thing if Allende had stayed in power he would have killed more people and completely ruined Chile.

Viva Pinochet! We desperately need a man like him in the US. The only thing you can do with commies is to isolate them. There is no arguing with them. Then you can design a new, market-based society. NEVER re-legalize the commies tho! This is Chile's big mistake and the commies have taken control of the universities again and the cycle will now repeat.
