Pinochet's Regime
Pinochet's Regime refers to the military dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet in Chile from 1973 to 1990. It began after a coup d'état that overthrew the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende. Pinochet's government implemented neoliberal economic reforms and centralized power, often at the expense of civil liberties.
During this period, the regime was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including torture, forced disappearances, and killings of political opponents. Organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented these violations, which have left a lasting impact on Chilean society and politics.
