In Chile, a judge has ordered the arrests of 129 former security officials for human rights abuses under the Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet. The move marks the largest-ever mass arrests in cases investigating crimes committed during Pinochet’s seventeen-year rule ending in 1990. The suspects all worked for the DINA, a secret Chilean police agency linked to scores of political murders and disappearances.
