The arrest of Pinochet - 10 years on

A compelling interview with brother and sister Jimmy and Myriam Bell, who were schoolchildren in Santiago during the 1973 coup. They discuss their experiences under the Pinochet regime. Having subsequently sought refuge in the UK they have spent the past 35 years fighting for justice.

I'm Chilean.

Pinochet violated almost every article of the human rights universal declaration. Too sad that some of my fellow countryman think he is some kind of savior.

Go Amnesty International!!

no excuse to kill anyone for those reasons.... i hope pinochet is rotting in hell right now for what he did... it's just upsetting how little justice these victims and their families got.... and to those ignorant people here, i hope you can live with yourself knowing you support a murderer, you are just lucky you & your family weren't victims of his brutality, things would look different if you were & somehow i'd give anything for u to experience what they did, so you finally see the truth.

pinochet had support from the U.S. for the coup and they are partly to blame for allowing a monster to take over chile and destroy it as he did. pinochet, AS A PERSON despite what political ideals he had, was a monster for killing, torturing, raping and disappearing all those people.... and anyone who praises what he did to those people IS A MONSTER TOO. have a fucking heart guys... in first place we are HUMAN, and race, gender, what political party we support shouldn't EVER matter and there is

...the U.S. couldn't bare seeing a country that DEMOCRATICALLY elected their leader who happened to be from the communist party take over and actually doing a good job.... they didn't care who he was as a person and what allende did for the chilean people.. they just wanted to crush any type of communism that could actually succeed. bare in mind, to me communism is something that is never going to be possible to achieve and i am critical of any political party... anyway....

i find it damn disturbing at some people here who claim to be chilean and support this hijo de puta pinochet... it seems that these people are uneducated ignorant idiots who don't even know their own history! as for the economy, what was it that Nixon said he wanted to do to the chilean economy that was actually going well in the beginning?? he said "i want to make them scream" and put so much pressure on the economy of chile he wanted it to fail....
