Occupation: Waiter. English student at the U. Católica Political Affiliation: Militant of the Movimiento de Acción Popular Unitaria (MAPU) Date of Detention: March 15, 1975

Luis Enrique González González, married, father of two, a waiter and university student, and a militant of the MAPU, who worked as a waiter at the Pudahuel Airport Casino, was detained on March 15, 1975, after 19:00 hours, in the vicinity of his home located in the Villa Los Alerces in the commune of Ñuñoa.

He was detained by security personnel traveling in a red Fiat 125 automobile. The events took place at the intersection of Calle Juan Moya and Pasaje Chaca, where the agents forcibly seized the victim, who attempted to escape but was ultimately caught by his captors.

Under these circumstances, he shouted his name and address so that those witnessing the events could notify his spouse. Among the neighbors who witnessed what was happening were Sergio Morales, a Carabineros officer, and Fermín Orellana, a detective, to whom the captors showed a badge when they intervened to ask for explanations.

In September of that same year, the family members were informed at the Secretaría Nacional de Detenidos (SENDET) that Luis Enrique González had indeed been detained on March 15 and had been placed at the disposal of the Intendencia of Antofagasta, via an official letter (Oficio) dated May 26, 1975, from the Dirección de Inteligencia de Carabineros (DICAR).

With this news, his mother, his spouse, and his brother traveled to the northern city, where they met with the clerk of the local Military Prosecutor's Office named Carlos Pérez, as they had been instructed at the SENDET offices in Santiago.

This official acknowledged the existence of the aforementioned official letter but stated that the detainee had not been placed at the disposal of that Prosecutor's Office and that it was unknown when he would be brought there.

Other efforts made in Antofagasta to locate the victim were unsuccessful, and his family members were forced to return to Santiago.

It should be noted that in a report sent by the Director of Investigations to the court investigating his disappearance, it is indicated that the agency had a record of another Luis Enrique González González, of communist affiliation, who had been a leader of the Federación de Campesinos e Indígenas during the years 1963 and 1964, in addition to the victim.

Despite all the complaints filed by the family and the SENDET report that acknowledged his detention on March 15, 1975, Luis Enrique González González could not be located and has been forcibly disappeared since then.

JUDICIAL AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS

On March 20, 1975, a writ of amparo (habeas corpus) was filed on his behalf before the Santiago Court of Appeals, case file 392-75, which was rejected after negative reports were received from the authorities regarding his detention.

On March 25 of the same year, when the family provided new information, the Court ordered the processing of a new writ of amparo, case file 404-75.

Once again, the authorities responded negatively to the Court's inquiries regarding the detention of the subject, including the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA).

On July 26, 1975, the Court rejected the appeal considering these negative responses, but ordered the records to be sent to the corresponding Criminal Court so that the commission of any crime in the reported events could be investigated.

Thus, on August 5, 1975, the 8th Criminal Court of Santiago initiated case file 12.428-6 for the alleged disappearance of Luis Enrique González González.

The Minister of the Interior, the Zone Chief in a State of Emergency, and the Military and Aviation Judges all reported negatively regarding González's detention.

Conversely, SENDET responded on two occasions, on August 28 and September 5, 1975, that González had been detained on March 15 of that year and subsequently placed at the disposal of the Intendencia of Antofagasta.

In the second response, the information was expanded, indicating that the official letter with which he had been sent to that Intendencia was No. 1052 from the Dirección de Inteligencia de Carabineros (DICAR), dated May 26, 1975.

Based on this information, the Court ordered, via a judicial request (exhorto), that the pertinent inquiries be made to clarify the situation of the detainee.

However, the Military Courts of Antofagasta reported that they had no record of any proceedings involving the victim.

The Regional Intendant at the time, Brigadier General Carol Urzúa Ibáñez, reported for his part that the aforementioned official letter No. 1052 referred to a report issued by DICAR, at the request of SENDET, which had been requested via Brief Communication 3550/2805-3, dated May 7, 1975, and that no detainee had been placed at their disposal.

Even so, the Intendant noted that the DICAR report mentioned a González, but indicated that he had been arrested on October 16, 1972, for violating the State Security Law.

The Antofagasta Court certified that on October 17, 1972, case No. 32 of that Court had been instructed, in which Luis González González had been released unconditionally. Carabineros also sent a copy of the police report through which Luis González González and others had been placed at the disposal of the Court on that occasion.

After receiving this information, the Judge ordered the closure of the summary proceedings and the temporary dismissal of the case, as the crime could not be proven. This resolution was approved by the Santiago Court of Appeals on January 26, 1976, without clarifying the fate of the victim or the ambiguity of the information gathered in the city of Antofagasta.

On July 8, 1981, a criminal complaint was filed for aggravated kidnapping, prolonged incommunicado detention, unnecessary rigor, and arbitrary detention in places other than those designated by law, directed against the security personnel who might be responsible.

This complaint was presented to the Visiting Minister Servando Jordán López, appointed by the Santiago Court of Appeals to investigate cases of disappearance of persons detained by security services.

The Minister processed the complaint and consolidated it with the case that was archived in the 8th Criminal Court, decreeing a series of measures, including the summoning of the police officers who witnessed the detention and the request for copies of the brief communication from DICAR or SENDET, to which the Antofagasta Intendencia referred, and official letter 1052 from DICAR.

DICAR sent a copy of the requested document, which reports on a group of people, including a Luis González González, detained on October 16, 1972, and placed at the disposal of the Intendencia of Antofagasta.

This information, along with his identification records and what the family had pointed out to the Court, made it evident that the victim was not the same person the Antofagasta Intendencia reported as having been detained in that city in 1972.

Luis Enrique González always lived in Santiago and had not been detained previously. All of this was clearly established, but the information provided by SENDET to the Court, in which it acknowledged the detention of the victim on March 15, 1975—the date the reported events actually occurred—could not be clarified.

The Antofagasta Intendencia took several months to respond to the measure decreed by the Minister regarding the submission of a copy of the Brief Communication. Finally, and after complaining to the Supreme Court about this non-compliance, in March 1982, it was reported that said document was not archived in those offices.

The clerk Carlos Pérez, from the Military Prosecutor's Office, who attended to the family members when they traveled to Antofagasta, did not recall this interview, and even though he acknowledged the existence of DICAR's official letter 1052, it was not archived in that Court either.

The police officers who witnessed González's arrest declared to the Court that they had not witnessed the events, nor did they remember any conversation with the victim's spouse in which they acknowledged having observed the detention.

With these gathered facts, Minister Jordán resolved on June 24, 1982, to close the summary proceedings, a resolution that was appealed by the plaintiff but confirmed by the Court on September 25 of the same year.

Finally, on October 4, 1982, the Minister temporarily dismissed the case because the crime could not be proven, a dismissal confirmed by the Court on March 10, 1983.

There were 482 votes in favor of the project out of a total of 606. The objective of the installation is to remember Alejandro Ávalos and Luis Enrique González, both students of English Pedagogy at the Universidad Católica, who were victims of the civil-military dictatorship.

A total of 606 students from the various UC Pedagogy programs participated in the "Plebiscito por la Memoria" (Plebiscite for Memory), held between April 27 and 28. The objective of the instance was for the students of the Faculty of Education of the Universidad Católica to approve, reject, or abstain from the installation of a memorial on the Faculty's premises.

The democratic exercise, organized by the Federación de Estudiantes de la UC (FEUC), in conjunction with the five Student Centers of the Education territory and the two Territorial Councilors, was in favor of the project that will allow for the installation of a plaque in memory of Alejandro Ávalos and Luis Enrique González, students of English Pedagogy at the UC who were forcibly disappeared by the civil-military dictatorship.

Alejandro Ávalos was a graduate of English Pedagogy and a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Program for Educational Research (PIIE), and Luis González was a student of the same program. Both were detained in 1975 by police forces and their whereabouts remain unknown. "The families of our fellow victims of the civil-military dictatorship have the right to ask us, as the university community that welcomed them in life, to publicly express recognition of their suffering and solidarity for their pain.

This plaque will be an important step in that direction," said the Territorial Councilors of Education, Florencia Barahona and María Paz Zamora, in a video prior to the elections.

The voting included the elections for delegates to the Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile (Confech).

The process had the participation of a total of 33.8% of the faculty's students, obtaining 482 favorable votes (79.5%), 68 rejections (11.2%), and 56 abstentions (9.2%).

The details of the project to commemorate the memory of said students will be defined during the coming months in work between students and authorities of the Faculty of Education, asserts Vicente Contreras, second executive secretary of the FEUC: "We are currently in the process of working collaboratively between students and the Dean's Office of the Faculty, to design the space and the memorial plaque." However, he explains, the final decision must be made by the UC Infrastructure Directorate: "We hope to find the willingness to work together," he said.
