40 years after the Military Coup, society links the military to human rights violations, but in many cases, the participation of civilians has been omitted. A list of doctors points to their role in various human rights violations, and the professional association notes that there are still conditions that prevent the prosecution of these acts.

By Juan San Cristóbal Bernardo Lejderman and María Avalos died in 1973, executed by the military in the north, a crime that came to light a few days ago due to Ernesto Lejderman’s public statement upon learning that his parents had not committed suicide with explosives, as indicated in the medical report signed by Guido Díaz Paci, a doctor who remains active to this day working in the Transit Department of the La Serena municipality.

Like this one, there are various cases of human rights violations that have civilian doctors as protagonists. Lawyer Carmen Hertz compiled a list detailing some thirty physicians linked to the dictatorship who remain in impunity, even practicing their profession.

The lawyer describes the role these professionals played in interrogation and torture processes so that the DINA could fulfill the objectives set by the Military Junta: “There is a long list of doctors who were DINA officials, who collaborated in the application of torture in clandestine centers.

Some of them have been prosecuted; the doctors kept the prisoners alive during the application of torture so that the DINA could extract the information they sought.” Carmen Hertz emphasizes that today these doctors remain active, without being identified in investigations, while also eluding moral condemnation for these acts. “There is a sort of reluctance to criminally prosecute civilians, despite evident proof; for example, many of these doctors practice and hold management positions at Clínica Dávila and Clínica Indisa.

There is complicity in the justification of extermination policies and in facilitating them, which has ultimately lived in judicial, political, social, and moral impunity,” the lawyer indicated. The work of these doctors ranged from assisting in torture methods, administering drugs during interrogations, such as the so-called “truth serum” (sodium pentothal), falsifying documents, adulterating clinical records, or signing death certificates with causes of death that hid the responsibility of intelligence agencies.

The Medical Association (Colegio Médico) launched disciplinary proceedings against professionals linked to the dictatorship, disqualifying them from practice and even revoking their professional titles.

Dr. Álvaro Reyes Bazán, president of the Medical Association’s Human Rights Department, highlights that before the regime, a doctor was required to be a member of the association, but this condition was eliminated, and with it, the organization lost its power to disqualify professionals from practicing.

Reyes Bazán points out that “at that time, the Association had the authority to prosecute or rescind the practice of the profession. But not today; the Association did not recover its status and has no authority.

Before, it was mandatory to practice medicine, but now it is voluntary; these are sequels of the dictatorship that have not yet been overcome.” Álvaro Reyes played a special role in protecting those persecuted by the military, even preventing the disappearance of Miria Contreras, “Payita,” Salvador Allende’s personal secretary.

In his view, today the Association lacks the tools to penalize irregularities by non-registered professionals, which he highlights as one more of the political legacies left by that period. The doctor noted that “it is a struggle we have maintained to recover it, but it has not been achieved; high quorums are needed to change some aspects of the Constitution, a series of instruments to prevent the popular will from being expressed.

We live under a system organized during the dictatorship; that is the fundamental issue, and it involves a very important change, which is to recover full democracy.” Both the lawyer and the doctor emphasize that medical professionals linked to the crimes of the dictatorship can legitimately be in practice, both in Armed Forces institutions and in the private sector.

By contrast, the disappearance of doctors persecuted for their political status remains a judicial process still underway.

The list of doctors is as follows

1. Darwin Arriagada – Doctor, leader of the Medical Association of Chile in 1973. He was appointed by the Military Junta as Director General of Health. He participated in the plan to administer drugs in food to murder political prisoners.

He turned in numerous left-wing doctors, more than 30 of whom were murdered. He practices at Santa María 217, office 34, Independencia commune. 2. Camilo Azar Saba – CNI doctor. He was suspended for six months from the Medical Association for his participation in torture applied to prisoners in CNI barracks.

Guido Mario Félix Díaz Paci – Army and CNI doctor. Military health officer of the Army who participated in the events that culminated in the death of the transporter Mario Fernández López, in La Serena.

The causes of Fernández López’s death were the torture suffered in the CNI barracks of that city in October 1984. When Mario Fernández had to be transferred to the La Serena Hospital, Díaz Paci lied to the doctors on duty at the Hospital, claiming that the detainee came from a Carabineros station and not from the CNI, requesting that the doctors hide the detainee’s condition.

Once Fernández died, the doctor and CNI agent tried to get the physician who had operated on the victim in an emergency to falsify the diagnosis of his death, hiding the true reasons for the passing. For all these reasons, Guido Díaz Paci was expelled from the Medical Association.

In 1974, he participated in the exhumation of the body of María Avalos, murdered along with her husband, Bernardo Lejdermann, in December 1973 by a patrol of the Arica Regiment of La Serena. In the death certificate, he claimed that the woman had blown herself up with dynamite. 9.

José María Fuentealba Suazo – Army doctor. On October 27, 1973, José Fuentealba participated in the delegation that traveled to Río Mayo, in Argentina, to transfer 3 detainees, Juan Vera, Néstor Castillo, and José Rosendo Pérez, who had been captured by the Argentine Gendarmerie when they escaped in search of political refuge.

The delegation was under the command of Captain Joaquín Molina Fuenzalida (murdered by the son of Manuel Contreras) and also included a Carabinero with the surname Salinas and the non-commissioned officer Evaldo Reidlich Hains.

The three prisoners were put into a vehicle from the Coyhaique Regional Hospital and transported in the direction of Chile, but they never reached their destination. In April 2002, the judge of the First Criminal Court of Coyhaique, Luis Sepúlveda, prosecuted Fuentealba Suazo and the retired Carabineros non-commissioned officer Evaldo Reidlich Hains. 10.

Among the cases in which she is implicated are the death due to torture of Carlos Godoy Echegoyen, which she made appear as “sudden death”; the murder of Cecilia Magni Camino, claiming she had drowned and hiding the vestiges of torture on her body; and the crime of the DC student leader Mario Martínez, who appeared on the coast of Rocas de Santo Domingo after being kidnapped in Santiago.

Another “service to the fatherland” was her participation in the examinations that culminated in the fraud of Pinochet’s dementia. In the last period, still at the SML, she was appointed head of the Department of Thanatology and acting director of the service.

Torturers and murderers: Doctors of death.

By Julio Oliva García

Cardiologists, psychiatrists, dentists, traumatologists, pediatricians, psychologists, gynecologists, and otolaryngologists put their knowledge, acquired to save lives, into the application of torture and executions against hundreds of political prisoners.

Most of them are still in positions at public hospitals, private clinics, and health institutions of the Armed Forces. The Hippocratic Oath says in some of its parts: "I swear by Apollo the Physician and Aesculapius and by Hygeia and Panacea and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my judges, that this my oath will be fulfilled to the extent of my power and discernment.

To him who taught me this art, I will esteem him the same as my parents; he will share in my command, and if he wishes, he will share in my goods. I will consider his offspring as my brothers, teaching them this art without charging them anything, if they wish to learn it.

I will carry out that regimen, which according to my power and discernment will be for the benefit of the sick and will keep them from harm and terror. I will not give a deadly drug to anyone even if requested, nor will I give advice to this end.

In the same way, I will not give any woman destructive suppositories; I will keep my life and my art away from guilt. Now, if I fulfill this oath and do not break it, may the fruits of life and art be mine, may I always be honored by all men, and may the opposite happen to me if I break it and am perjured." Evidently, those who put their knowledge at the service of torture and death violated this oath and all norms related to the defense of human rights.

The worst thing is that, with the protection of the Armed Forces or with the extreme negligence of the directors of public hospitals appointed by the Concertación, they remain in their functions, attending to people who have not the slightest idea that "their doctor" has such a sinister past.

This happened when the public denunciations called funas began, with hundreds of patients who began to call the doctors to rebuke them and cancel their visits upon learning of the facts. Among other cases, this was what happened with Alejandro Forero at Clínica INDISA, Sergio Muñoz at the Barros Luco Hospital, and Roberto Lailhacar at his office on Obispo Salas street in the Providencia commune.

From the first days The collaboration of the doctors who had sided with the coup plotters occurred from the first days of the Pinochet dictatorship. The case of José María Fuentealba, an Army health official, is one of them.

On October 27, 1973, Néstor Hernán Castillo Sepúlveda, 23, Regional Secretary of the Communist Youth; José Rosendo Pérez Ríos, 24, employee, militant of the MAPU; and Juan Vera Oyarzún, 53, worker, Regional Secretary of the Communist Party, union leader, and former councilman of Punta Arenas, were handed over by the Argentine Gendarmerie to Chilean military personnel in the border town of Río Mayo.

On September 20, a group of four people, including Juan Vera, had crossed the border to seek political asylum in Argentina. Two days later, they were handed over to the Argentine Gendarmerie by the owner of a ranch in the area, taken to Aldea Veleiros, and subsequently to Río Mayo.

In this town, they remained under the custody of Squadron No. 38 of the Gendarmerie. On the other hand, on September 28, José Rosendo Pérez and Néstor Castillo, who had also arrived from Chile days earlier, were arrested in a boarding house in Río Mayo.

Together with Juan Vera, they were tasked with performing work at the Río Mayo Municipality while they remained detained. That lasted until October 27, when they were handed over to a military command composed of Army Captain Joaquín Molina, a Carabinero with the surname Salinas, the non-commissioned officer Evaldo Reidlich Hains, and Dr.

José María Fuentealba Suazo, who were traveling in an ambulance from the Coyhaique Regional Hospital. According to the newspaper La Epoca of November 2, 1988, the military "informed them that their families were waiting for them at the border.

Once in Chilean territory, the military patrol forced the group to get into a truck and began the return toward the Las Bandurrias prisoner camp. Hours later, the vehicle arrived at the military compound.

Only the uniformed men and the doctor were inside. The three detainees have never appeared to this day." The justice system prosecuted Dr. Fuentealba Suazo and the retired non-commissioned officer Evaldo Reidlich, while continuing efforts to identify the other member of the patrol and conducting inspections at the Coyhaique Forest Reserve of the El Claro Cemetery, the place where the three Chilean citizens were allegedly executed and forcibly disappeared.

Joaquín Molina Fuenzalida, the captain who commanded the group, was murdered by Manuel Contreras Valdebenito, son of the head of the DINA. As in this case, the cardiologist from Punta Arenas Guillermo Aranda and Alejandro Babaich Schmith, Director of the "Cirujano Guzmán" Hospital of that city, also appear from the first moment, recognized by many tortured people from that town.

Another is Darwin Arraigada Loyola, at that time a leader of the Medical Association of Chile, who was subsequently appointed by the Military Junta as Director General of Health and who is accused, among other things, of turning in numerous left-wing doctors, more than 30 of whom were murdered, and participating in the plan to administer drugs in food to murder political prisoners.

Doctor Raúl Díaz Doll, an official of the General Directorate of the National Health Service, was part of the military commission that investigated the political affiliation of doctors. He organized spying within the service and participated personally in the interrogations of detained and tortured doctors.

In Iquique, the pediatrician Werner Gálvez, Colonel of Health, applied intravenous injections of sodium pentothal, alternating with biological serum, during interrogations of prisoners of war. Meanwhile, in Valdivia, the traumatologist Fernando Jara de la Maza participated directly in the application of torture to detainees.

In the Concepción province, a Carabineros doctor with the surname Minoletti advised the torturers of Fuerte Borgoño and issued certificates for "natural death" to cover up the crimes. Meanwhile, in Tejas Verdes, the cradle of the DINA, Dr.

Vittorio Orvieto Teplizky performed collaborative functions in the torture committed at the Prisoner Camp Number Two of that military compound, later joining the Health Brigade of said illicit association, appearing as director of the clandestine Santa Lucía clinic.

In the vicinity of Santiago, the radiologist Bernardo Pulto, together with the military prosecutor of Melipilla, personally took part in the torture sessions of prisoners. The Health Brigade The DINA had its own team for the care of service personnel, prisoners who collaborated, and the application of torment to those it considered its "enemies." Along with the aforementioned Vittorio Orvieto Teplizky, Werner Zanghellini, Hernán Taricco, Nader Nasser, Osvaldo Eugenio Leyton Bahamondez, Rodrigo Vélez, Samuel Valdivia Soto, Luis Hernán Santibáñez Santelices, Eduardo Contreras Balcarce, the gynecologist Juan Pablo Figueroa Yáñez, the otolaryngologist Eugenio Fantuzzi Alliende, the psychiatrist Roberto Lailhacar Chávez, the dentist Sergio Roberto Muñoz Bonta, and the nurse María Eliana Bolumburú Taboada performed functions. Another doctor, of whom only the surname is known, is the psychologist Bassaure. Without being part of the structure, the doctor Gregorio Burgos of the Los Angeles Regiment collaborated with DINA agents by looking for ways to torture without the detainee losing consciousness. Many of them seem to no longer hold functions in their respective areas, although they remain close, like the nurse María Eliana Bolumburú, who works in a chemical laboratory on Ejército street. Others remain active and assume prominent roles in their profession, such as Roberto Emilio Lailhacar Chávez, who in the late 90s and until 2001 held the position of president of the Chilean Society of Sexology and Sexual Education, whose headquarters operated in his private office at Obispo Salas 290 in the Providencia commune. The lawyer Víctor Manuel Avilés Mejías, a member of the DINA Legal Department, joined this organization as a "natural person." For his part, the dental surgeon Sergio Muñoz Bonta, who worked at the clandestine Santa Lucía and London clinics, attended to, among other people, Marcia Merino, the "flaca Alejandra," and was a "founding partner" of the front company Pedro Diet Lobos, through which the DINA laundered money from the State, from arms and drug trafficking, and legalized the theft of houses, cars, and assets of those prisoners who were forcibly disappeared. Here he was a "colleague," for example, of Francisco Ferrer Lima, Emilio Sajuria Alvear, Ricardo Lawrence Mires, Fernando Gómez Segovia, Augusto Pinochet Hiriart, and Pedro Espinoza Bravo. Luis Hernán Santibáñez Santelices appears implicated in the disappearance of Juan Elías Cortés Alruiz, a communist militant kidnapped in April 1976, a case for which he was even called to testify by Minister Servando Jordán in 1980 along with Germán Barriga Muñoz, Emilio Troncoso Vivillos, Heriberto Acevedo, Vianel Valdivieso, and Julio Leyton Robles, brother of Manuel Leyton, who died under strange circumstances at the London clinic. Dr. Santibáñez acknowledged on July 17, 1980, that he had been part of the DINA as a doctor. He reported that on Almirante Barroso street there was the London Clinic, which was in charge of Dr. Taricco. When he was shown the photo of Cortés, he said that he looked like a familiar face and that he might have seen that person at the San Juan de Dios Hospital. In the same proceeding, he was questioned about the case of Gabriel Castillo Tapia, disappeared since August 5, 1976. In the death of Manuel Leyton Robles, another doctor appears implicated, Osvaldo Leyton Bahamondes, who signed a death certificate stating that the DINA agent had died due to an epileptic seizure and cardiac arrhythmia. The death allegedly occurred at Almirante Barroso No. 76, where the London Clinic operated. The truth is that Manuel Leyton was murdered by his "colleagues" when his role as a DINA member was discovered after participating in a job commissioned by Germán Barriga: the theft of a Renault 4. For his part, Sergio Marcelo Virgilio Bocaz, after finishing his work at the DINA, based at the Santa Lucía Clinic, continued working in the CNI Logistics Command, and at the end of the dictatorship, he was seen appearing in various types of advertising, such as one for Nescafé, another for Tritón cookies, and for financial institutions. He still holds functions at the Félix Bulnes Hospital. Dr. Eugenio Fantuzzi has his private office and is Chief of the Otolaryngology Service of the Clínica Dávila. The gynecologist Juan Pablo Figueroa attends from Monday to Friday at the Clínica Arauco, and Hernán Taricco Lavín continues working for the Army at the Maipú Military Medical Center (see box). Werner Zanghellini Martínez, who injected the rabies virus into the detainee Jorge Fuentes Alarcón, quickly abandoned his office, located at Galvarino Gallardo 1983, when he was confronted by dozens of people a couple of years ago. It is known that he continues to attend in an office on Avenida Providencia that belongs to a relative, although his name does not appear on the plaque attached to the door. The CNI and the Comando Conjunto Although the presence of other doctors is known in the Comando Conjunto, composed basically of members of the Air Force, the one who has been prosecuted as a permanent part of this illicit association is the cardiologist Alejandro Jorge Forero Alvarez, a squadron commander of the FACH and an official of the institutional hospital. Named in most of the cases involving the Comando Conjunto, it is known that in 1976 he served as a second soldier at the El Bosque Air Base and at the Colina Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment, used as a clandestine detention center by the FACH. In this place, he allegedly participated by supervising torture and drugging prisoners who were taken away to be forcibly disappeared. Forero participated in Patria y Libertad during the Unidad Popular government, where he met Roberto Fuentes Morrison, alias "el Wally." Already during the dictatorship, he was prosecuted by Minister Carlos Cerda, but that process was closed and amnestied by a judge appointed especially for that purpose. For the crimes of illicit association and illegal detention of Víctor Vega Riquelme, he was prosecuted along with 20 other members of the Comando Conjunto. In the Army Intelligence Directorate (DINE), Jorge León Alessandrini appears, a dentist and civil agent, implicated in the murder of union leader Tucapel Jiménez, where he allegedly acted by providing the murder weapon. The CNI also had its own medical team, especially in the clandestine torture centers located in Santiago, such as the Borgoña Barracks, and others in the regions. Cases that have reached notoriety exposed some of them, for example, those implicated in the death by torture of the teacher Federico Alvarez Santibáñez in August 1979. The young MIR militant was handed over by the Carabineros to the CNI, where he was subjected to terrible duress while being "monitored" by health professionals to prevent his death. Among these appear Luis Losada Fuenzalida, Manfred Jurgensen Caesar, and Camilo Azar Saba, all sanctioned by the Medical Association on March 31, 1986. Losada Fuenzalida signed a report stating that the teacher was in good physical condition only one hour before the death of Alvarez Santibáñez. Camilo Azar is a traumatologist and orthopedist, so he knew perfectly well the most sensitive areas of the body, which could cause greater pain with less danger of death. However, in this case, they did not work: Federico Alvarez died due to multiple contusions, hemoptysis, and pulmonary insufficiency. Another case is that of the transporter from La Serena, Mario Fernández López, kidnapped by the CNI in October 1984. After the death by torture of Fernández, doctors Víctor Carcuro Correa and Guido Mario Félix Díaz Paci, participants in the application of torment to the detainee, were sanctioned by the Medical Association. Guido Díaz Paci, a well-known Army doctor, lied to the doctors on duty at the La Serena Hospital, claiming that the detainee came from a Carabineros station and not from the CNI, and requesting that the doctors hide the detainee’s condition. Once Mario Fernández died, Díaz Paci tried to get the physician who had operated on the victim in an emergency to falsify the diagnosis of his death, hiding the true reasons for the passing. Already in 1974, when he participated in the exhumation of the body of María Avalos, murdered along with her husband Bernardo Lejdermann in December 1973 by a patrol of the Arica Regiment of La Serena, he lied when issuing a death certificate, claiming that the woman had blown herself up with dynamite. Like many of these "doctors of death," Díaz Paci continues working in La Serena. Workplace H. Darwin Arraigada Loyola, General medicine.
