Bloody eye sockets, defaced statues: the visual legacy of Chile's unrest

1. Another fake coup d'tat

Charles Horman was an American journalist and documentary filmmaker. He was murdered in Chile in the days following the 1973 Chilean coup d'état. Horman's death was the subject of the 1982 Costa-Gavras film Missing.

Frank Teruggi, Jr. was an American student, journalist, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World, from Chicago, Illinois, who became one of the victims of General Augusto Pinochet's military shortly after the September 11, 1973 Pinochet coup d'état against Socialist President Salvador Allende.

These two American supporters of President Allende were killed in Chile during a savage military coup that led to the death of a president, and more than 3,000 political opponents were assassinated or “disappeared.

The US supported Allende's opponents in Chile during his presidency, CIA and White House cover-up obscured American involvement, in the Chilean coup of 1973, Augusto Pinochet rise to power, and the murder and overthrowing of President Allende.

I think there is a book and a movie about the coup and murder of Charles Horman it was the subject of the 1982 Costa-Gavras film Missing,
