Merger Proposal

I propose that Human rights violations during the Military government of Chile be merged into this page. Both pages currently document exactly the same topic with varying levels of detail, but this page has more content overall, therefore I suggest that this be the final destination. However, this page is an orphan, so that would create a host of redirects; therefore, I am not wedded to what the final page should be. Vanamonde93 (talk) 08:11, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

support absolutely. No questions. --Keysanger (Talk) 13:17, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed assertion under "Bureaucratic authoritarianism"

"As Pinochet's suspicions grew, the military dictator targeted anyone who was in someway associated with the "leftists," which even included the mothers, wives and children of the potential subversives."

The assertion above is backed up by a citation to 'Rex A. Hudson, ed. "Chile: A Country Study". GPO for the Library of Congress, 1995', however does not include the relevant chapter and/or page number of the written work in which it has been made. I have briefly attempted to locate anything which might support the above statement within the text but was unable to do so. Interested editors may access the text here and improve the article with relevant information and an updated citation. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 10:46, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

March 2019 sentencing of soldiers for torture of Rodrigo Rojas and Carmen Gloria Quintana

Potentially this should be mentioned in the article: "A Chilean court has sentenced three retired soldiers to 10 years in prison for their part in a horrific attack on two democracy activists who were doused with petrol and set on fire. The 1986 attack on Rodrigo Rojas and Carmen Gloria Quintana was one of the most notorious torture cases in the 17-year military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/21/chile-soldiers-activists-attack-rodrigo-rojas-carmen-quintana Zazpot (talk) 00:42, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic sourced content

I was surprised at the claim of 17 torture centers, as I hadn't seen that before. So I went to the source (Chasteen, Born in Blood and Fire) and though the edition I had was more recent, there was nothing like that in there. The book is a very high-level survey about the history of all of Latin America in about 300 pages, so even Chile as a whole only gets a few mentions, Pinochet just a portion of that, and there's no mention of specific torture centers or how many there were. This claim that In total, Chile had 17 torture centers. simply isn't in there. That assertion has been there since the first version of the article in 2013. User Spg22 (talk · contribs) created the article at 24kb in a single edit, which was their only edit on Wikipedia. The Spanish article es:Anexo:Centros de detención política y tortura en Chile (1973-1990) has many more than 17, but mixes detention centers and torture centers in the same table, so it isn't clear how many of each there actually were, plus there is very little sourcing for any of it.
