Tug Of War For A Butcher!
On October 16, 1998, the former Chilean dictator, General (and "Senator") Augusto Pinochet-Ugarte is arrested on the basis of a Spanish arrest warrant in a private clinic in London...:
He just came back from visiting his old companion Maggie Thatcher ...:
A Spanish extradition request has been filed against Pinochet, who is in London for treatment of a back problem, on suspicion of genocide, state terrorism and torture ...
... which the Spanish examining magistrate Balthasar Garzòn signed after years of investigation.
When the arrest of Pinochet became known internationally ...
... Switzerland immediately submitted an extradition request in the same directiont becaise of the Swiss journalist Alexi Jaccard, who "disappeared" without a trace ...
Jaccard was arrested by the Chilean secret service in Argentina on behalf of the tyrant Pinochet - and never turned up again.
On September 11, 1973, the butcher Pinochet, with the active support of the US secret service CIA, had the democratically legitimized Popular Front government of left-wing President Salvador Allende ...
... toppled by a military coup and himself chaired a military junta and dictator ...
... and - later - made himself president ...:
Salvador Allende (with helmet and AK 47) ...
... was killed in defense of the presidential palace "La Moneda" against the putschists ...:
Here they carry his corpse away ...:
During the 17 years of Pinochet's rule of tyranny, countless people were systematically persecuted, tortured and murdered ...:
By the way:
Besides Spain, there was only one other country in Europe that willingly accepted a large number of politically persecuted people during the Pinochet dictatorship: that was the GDR!
A commission set up by the Chilean state recognized 27,255 political prisoners. Other sources suspect some 10,000 more victims. 13% of the detainees were women, 94% were tortured. Torture was carried out in all regions of Chile, mainly in concentration camps, prisons, barracks and on ships.
The "Desparicidos", the "disappeared", were either buried in mass graves in remote areas or "dropped" on helicopters over the Pacific, some of them still alive!
The persecution of Chilean opposition activists also resulted in violent crimes by the Chilean military abroad. For example, in September 1976, the former Chilean ambassador to the United States, Orlando Letelier, was killed by a car bomb in Washington.
CIA documents released in 2015 show that Pinochet personally ordered the murder and that his intelligence chief Manuel Contreras ...
... had commissioned with it.
General Carlos Prats...
... Pinochet's predecessor as army commander, was killed in the same way in Buenos Aires two years earlier ...:
The Chilean secret service DINA - trained by the CIA - was responsible for both attacks, and it also has the Swiss journalist Jaccard on its conscience.
