President (e) Boric for Army report condemning military acts in dictatorship: "It is valuable for Chile" and "a historic step"

the elected president Gabriel Boric valued the report of the Army -signed by the former commander in chief Ricardo Martinez– that repudiates actions committed by the military during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

“The recognition and condemnation that the army has made of its institutional responsibility for human rights violations during the dictatorship is valuable for Chile. A historic step to truly advance. We will continue working for justice, reparation. So that we never more,” wrote the future president on his Twitter account.

The report

The report signed by General (r) Martínez – who resigned from the command in chief of the Army after being summoned to testify as accused by a member of Milicogate – repudiates different acts committed by soldiers during the dictatorship.

For example, it points out that the “Caravan of Death” – an Army delegation that toured the country during the dictatorship, and that murdered and disappeared opponents – led by General Sergio Arellano Stark it was “one of the most damning episodes” of the period.

They also described as “institutional shame” the assassination of the former commander in chief, General Carlos Prats -also former Minister of the Interior of the former President Salvador Allende-, and his wife Sofia Cuthbertheld in 1974 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Likewise, they pointed out that “although most of the arrests obeyed a superior order, it is reprehensible that the detainees have been tortured, as unfortunately happened and even more so the fact that some have been executed without due judicial process, as was expressly provided for in the Military Justice Code of 1944”.
