On June 7, 1988, Miguel Eduardo ROJAS LOBOS, 43 years old, a Lieutenant Colonel of the Ejército in the process of retirement, who was working as Finance Manager of the company Plansa S.A., was killed in an attempt on his life that occurred in the commune of San Joaquín.

The victim was leaving the company's facilities in his car, located at Avenida Carlos Valdovinos No. 473, when an individual approached him and fired at him with a sawed-off shotgun. The assailant then fled in a stolen taxi, according to statements given to the press by several eyewitnesses.

As a result of the gunshot wounds, the victim died from thoracic trauma and acute anemia, as indicated by the autopsy, while being transported to the Carabineros Hospital.

The Commission took into consideration that:

The act had a clear political connotation, especially because the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez (FPMR) itself claimed responsibility for it, justifying it as an "execution";

The victim had no rational possibility of defense, being attacked by surprise.

On this basis, the conviction was formed that Miguel Rojas was a victim of human rights violations committed by members of the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez.
