Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet died on Sunday at the age of 91. He took power in a U.S.-supported coup on September 11, 1973, and ruled Chile for 17 years. During that time, his government murdered or disappeared more than 3,200 people. Tens of thousands were also tortured, including Michelle Bachelet, Chile’s current president. Pinochet died before ever going to trial. When Pinochet’s death was announced on Sunday, thousands of people took to the streets of Santiago to celebrate.

Chilean Protester: “Justice will have to respond: Why wasn’t he punished? But the people and the national consciousness have punished him a long time ago and today, and we go out to the streets with all strength to say that the dictator is dead.”

Outside the hospital where Pinochet died, hundreds of his supporters fought with police and attacked reporters with a hail of bottles and rocks. The Chilean government has announced Pinochet will not receive a state funeral, but he will be buried with full military honors. Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has not said whether she would attend his funeral mass. Pinochet died on December 10—International Human Rights Day.
