The Others 9/11

In Chile’s case, the Chilean coup of September 11, 1973, the resulting repression produced at least 3065 murders, disappearances and extra-judicial killings, about the same number as 9/11/2001 produced in this country.
Hard memories wrote by James S. Henry with Forbes.
There were also thousands of secret arrests and tortures, including more than 35,000 identified victims of torture and abuse . All told, Chile spent six teen long years without free elections, in what had previously always been one of Latin America’s most democratic countries.
