The other September 11: Chile 1973

Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - 17:00

2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the coup in Chile which inaugerated a reign of terror in which tens of thousands of opponents of the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet were imprisoned, tortured, exiled, disappeared and murdered.

The world was justifiably outraged by the terrorist attack upon the United States in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. However, 30 years earlier, the democratically elected socialist government of Dr Salvador Allende was overthrown by a United States supported military coup.

A broad coalition of community, trade union, church and Latin American solidarity groups are organising commemoration activities for September 11. For more information contact Elizabeth Rivera on elirivera29@hotmail.com or 0402 608 265
