The family of Víctor Jara singer-songwriter killed under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990), sentenced on Saturday the Chilean justice against nine members of the army for his murder and the director of the Quiroga Littré era
The decision of Judge Miguel Vázquez establishes a sentence of 15 years and a day as the perpetrators of the murders of eight soldiers (Hugo Sánchez, Raúl Jofré, Edwin Dimteri, Nelson Haase, Ernesto Bethke, Juan Jara, Hernán Chacón and Patricio Vásquez)
While the ex-official Rolando Melo was sentenced to five years and a day of imprisonment as that accessory of homicides and 61 days as an "accessory to kidnappings
" Without a doubt, this decision is a major defeat for those who want to deny history and wear a hard blow to impunity.But it is also true that a conviction that intervenes at almost 45 years old, can hardly be considered fair, "said the Victor Jara Foundation.
The family thanked all those who participated in the case that accompanied them to "fight indifference" "Our struggle does not stop there, there are several judicial processes to which we will be confronted with the same conviction as always for justice to be done, not only by Victor and Littré, but also by all those who have suffered the state terrorism that reigned in Chile under the civil-military dictatorship, "they stressed.
