On January 27, 1979, Oscar Orlando OYARZUN MANZO, a militant of the PC de Chile who had been a refugee in Argentina since 1974, was kidnapped by plainclothes agents and killed in the vicinity of Buenos Aires.
The investigation regarding this victim, who had just obtained a visa to seek refuge in Germany, established that the kidnapping and subsequent death of Oscar Oyarzún constituted a political execution, in violation of his human rights, within the context of the situation in Argentina already described; however, the participation of Chilean agents in these events cannot be confirmed.
