[Hamp-law] Human Rights Film: The Pinochet Case

[Flavio Risech]

Hampshire Law Program Human Rights Film Series 
presents its final screening of the spring 
semester: Patricio Guzmán's "The Pinochet Case" 
(109m, 2001), in FPH Room 102 at 7pm Tuesday 
April 27. Pizza and refreshments provided.

The film is a gripping documentary account of the 
arrest of former Chilean dictator and 
Senator-for-Life Augusto Pinochet in London in 
1998, the legal case for his extradition to Spain 
to face criminal prosecution for crimes against 
humanity (including the brutal torture, murder 
and disappearance of thousands) during his 
US-supported coup and reign of terror in Chile 
1973-1989, and his eventual return to face 
charges in Chile after being stripped of the 
immunity he had granted himself.
