On October 29 and 30, 1984, a National Strike took place. Nine people were killed on that occasion:
Bernardo Ramón JARA LOPEZ, 34 years old, worked as a laborer for the Occupational Program for Heads of Households (POJH).
On the afternoon of October 30, an incident occurred at the Grecia roundabout on Avenida Américo Vespucio (Santiago), where barricades were obstructing vehicular traffic. In that context, an individual fired shots with a firearm in the direction of the people gathered at the site. One of those bullets struck Bernardo Ramón Jara, who died.
Based on the evidence analyzed, given the context of an anti-government demonstration, the Commission presumes that the perpetrator violated the right to life of Bernardo Ramón Jara, motivated by political pretexts.
