CHIP / CHILE - THE SANTIAGO TIMES IN ENGLISH:

"(March 8, 2005) In a history making resolution, Judge Alejandro Solís on Monday notified Manuel Contreras, the former head of Chile’s secret police, that he will be prosecuted for tortures he help commit during the 17-year reign of ex-dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet.

This is the first time a Chilean court has charged former military authorities with deliberately using violence against political prisoners."
