Chile sentences 33 over Pinochet-era disappearances
23 March 2017
The High Court in Chile has sentenced 33 former intelligence agents for the disappearance of five political activists in 1987.
The court said that the five had been abducted and killed, and their bodies thrown into the sea.
Investigators said they were killed in revenge for the abduction of an army colonel by left-wing guerrillas.
The five are believed to have been the last people kidnapped under the rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet from 1973 to 1990.
