In the month of October 1973, Mariano LONCOPAN CANIUQUEO, 42 years old, a farmer and member of the Partido Comunista, was detained by Carabineros officers. His family members saw him in the hands of his captors in the vicinity of the place where he was detained. Since then, all trace of him has been lost.

Having verified his detention, considered his political affiliation, and given that he did not contact his family again from that moment on, nor did he carry out any proceedings before agencies of the State of Chile, this Commission has formed the conviction that Mariano Loncopan was forcibly disappeared by the responsibility of State agents, in an act that makes him a victim of a grave violation of human rights.
