Anniversaries

Written by kevin

I hadn’t realised until this evening that tomorrow is a significant date for more than one reason. On the 11th of September 1973 the democratically-elected government of Chile was overthrown in a coup supported by the government of the USA.

So spare a moment tomorrow to think about those who suffered years under a brutal regime in Chile, as well as those affected by the terrorist attacks in America last year.

Here are some links relating to the Chilean coup:
Declassified documents…
The Day Democracy Died in Chile
Human Rights in Chile
Memoria y Justicia
