Life and Freedom
For Chile's Disappeared Prisoners"
The 'disappeared' were a group of political prisoners who were purposefully 'lost' within the internment system under Pinochet's military dictatorship. Most of the disappeared were never found, though bodies of some were found in mass graves since the fall of the dictatorship in 1991.
