    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the torture and terror involving the military junta in Chile. It mentions the death of Guillermo Hernan Herrera Manriquez, who was arrested by the country's secret police Dirección de Informaciones Nacional (DINA) and was badly beaten and subjected to electric shock. The Herrera incident is one of the torture stories, midnight arrests, and unexplained detentions connected with the junta, which has been criticized by the public. It notes that the repression made by the secret police has discouraged many foreign governments from helping Chile overcome its economic difficulties.
