Ana Alicia Delgado Tapia, a 29-year-old agricultural engineer and member of the Communist Party, was executed by CNI agents on July 3, 1984, in the commune of La Cisterna. Although the regime's official version alleged an armed confrontation during a raid, investigations determined that her death was a human rights violation for which the State was responsible.

On July 2, 1984, Héctor Patricio SOBARZO NUÑEZ, a teacher and MIR militant, and Enzo MUÑOZ AREVALO, a Communist militant, were killed in Santiago.

According to the official version, "On July 2 at 11:50 p.m., CNI personnel detected the presence of suspects traveling in a vehicle on Avenida José Pedro Alessandri, meters from the Rotonda Departamental. From inside the vehicle, the suspects fired at security personnel, who repelled the attack, resulting in a confrontation that ended with the deaths of Enzo Muñoz and Héctor Sobarzo."

The official version is not truthful according to the evidence gathered, especially the statements of witnesses who indicate that at 11:30 p.m., Enzo Muñoz and Héctor Sobarzo parked the vehicle they were traveling in at the Rotonda Departamental in front of the Don Camilo housing complex, with the latter getting out to make a phone call.

At that moment, numerous vehicles appeared with armed plainclothes personnel who fired at Enzo Muñoz and arrested Héctor Sobarzo while he was still alive, forced him into a vehicle, and shot him further away.

The Commission, considering the evidence gathered, has reached the conviction that the victims were executed by CNI personnel, considering their deaths to be human rights violations for which state agents are responsible.

On July 3, 1984, in a confrontation subsequent to the previous one, as officially reported, Ana Alicia DELGADO TAPIA, an agronomist and Partido Comunista militant, and Juan Manuel VARAS SILVA, a mechanic and MIR militant, were killed in Callejón Lo Ovalle.

That official version indicates that hours after the previous confrontation, and continuing with the efforts to clarify recent attacks, at Callejón Lo Ovalle, upon reaching the eight-hundred block to carry out a raid, they encountered three men and one woman, as a result of which Juan Varas and Ana Delgado died.

The evidence gathered by this Commission, and considering especially the falsity of the official version regarding the manner in which Enzo Muñoz and Héctor Sobarzo died, allowed the Commission to acquire the conviction that both were executed by state agents, who thereby violated their human rights.
