Coup In Chile

EDM number 1667 in 2002-03, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 10/09/2003.

That this House notes that on 11th September 1973 the elected government of Chile was overthrown by a military coup and President Allende died in the Moreda Palace; recalls that the coup led by General Pinochet began with strafing of the centre of Santiago by British-built planes and continued with the murder and disappearance of over 7000 people; and regrets that General Pinochet has escaped prosecution and that many victims and their families still await justice for the reign of terror installed with the help of the CIA.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
