Chili:THIS IS WHY WE ARE ALIVE; NO FORGIVENES
P.Matta - 31.08.2003 13:27

Children of the Disappeared and Murdered by the Pinochet Dictatorship


Children of the Disappeared and Murdered by the Pinochet Dictatorship

WE DON'T ACCEPT NOR WILL WE EVER ACCEPT IMPUNITY

To the public:

Almost 30 years since the military coup, t he Right, the Concertación
Government and the high command of the Armed Forces, have pulled
together a historic political agreement that intends to perpetuate
impunity in our country.

None of the points of the plan presented by the Government, today
applauded by the assassins, allow for advancing down the road of
justice in our nation. What's worse, it offers alternatives to those
who participated in these crimes, allowing them to receive complete
immunity in exchange for information and the reduction of sentences
for those who are already indicted for their participation in these
crimes.

We think that this is one more insult, just like the Human Rights
Roundtable (Mesa de Dialogo), to those judges who today are honestly
carrying out their functions, to the families, and to society as a
whole.

In Chile, the vast majority of those responsible for murders,
torture, and the disappearances committed d uring the Dictatorship,
are walking free on the streets or are detained in luxurious centers
provided by the Army.

We appreciate the efforts of some Ad Hoc Judges and other judges who
are handling human rights cases. Nonetheless, we think this is
insufficient, because the courts need a greater number of judges
dedicated to these cases and more resources to investigate.

We think that the country, together with repudiating the bloody acts
that many Chileans lived through, should sanction, both socially and
legally, all of those who participated in these crimes, even if they
were accomplices or helped cover up the crimes. This is the only way
that our children and future generations will be able to live in
peace knowing that in Chile, no political or military official will
ever again commit the wrongs that we have so unjustly been forced to
live through.

We are tired of lies, promises, and false ho pes. Conscious of the
fact that there is no possible reparation because nothing can ever
bring back our families or Chile's lost compatriots, we declare an
indefinite Hunger Strike so that our country and the world knows
that, in Chile, the political authorities have refused to recognize
these crimes as crimes against humanity, meaning that they cannot be
amnestied nor can they benefit from statutes of limitations; to do so
is in violation of all international treaties that have come into
existence since the Second World War.

We call upon all those people and social organizations that wish to
live in a just and democratic nation to publicly express their
support and speak out for justice. The families are willing to
continue fighting and we will not end this Hunger Strike until we see
some advance towards justice in Chile. But this task is that of
everyone; today more than ever, silence is on the si de of impunity.

THIS IS WHY WE ARE ALIVE; NO FORGIVENESS, NO FORGETTING

We need your solidarity and support. Your solidarity is critical.
Until the last criminal pays..
