Inquiry into 1973 death of Chile's Salvador Allende (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Chile's authorities have said they will launch the first inquiry into the death of socialist President Salvador Allende.

His death, during the 11 September 1973 coup that brought Gen Augusto Pinochet to power, had officially been ruled a suicide until now.

The inquiry is said to result from one of hundreds of human rights complaints made against Pinochet's military rule.

Allende was found dead in the presidential palace during the coup.

Some 726 complaints of alleged human rights violations never before examined by the judicial authorities were put before a special judge in the Chilean capital, Santiago, on Wednesday.

3. South America has been holding their former

dictators and their buddies accountable for a while now.

I hope war criminals everywhere are watching. Even after their deaths, they can still and hopefully will be held accountable because so long as their crimes go unpunished others will take it as a sign that they too can get away with it.
