Victims of Pinochet government reburied in Chile after 40 years
The remains of six men have been reburied in Chile more than 40 years after they were killed by the military government of Augusto Pinochet. Their bodies were discovered in an unmarked grave in 1992.
The men were among dozens of people killed by a military unit in late 1973, just weeks after General Pinochet came to power in a coup. His officials flew around the country in helicopters, and executed political prisoners by firing squad.
The men - Carlos Berger, Carlos Escobedo, Luis Moreno, Hernan Moreno, Mario Arguelles and Jeronimo Carpanchay - were killed in the northern Chilean city of Calama.
Mr Berger, a lawyer and journalist, had been arrested on 11 September 1973 after refusing to broadcast a government message at the radio station where he worked.
