Chile Pinochet: Anger as jailed abusers ask forgiveness
Chile Pinochet: Anger as jailed abusers ask forgiveness
2 hours ago
Requests for forgiveness have sparked anger in Chile among relatives of people tortured and killed during Augusto Pinochet's 17-year rule.
Ten men, who are all serving long sentences for human rights abuses, asked for forgiveness during a special Christmas Mass held inside their jail.
But campaigners said if they were truly repentant, they would reveal where some of their victims were buried.
Some 3,000 Pinochet opponents were killed during the 1970s and 1980s.
