66 years old, married, pensioner, forcibly disappeared in October 1973 in Lota. Lorenzo Rivera Ramírez was detained on an unspecified day that month, around 21:00 hours, in an area of Playa de Lota, by a military patrol that took him to an unknown destination.

He has been missing ever since. According to what eyewitnesses told the family, Lorenzo Rivera confronted a military patrol regarding the events of September 11. The uniformed officers arrested him, and since then, all news of him has been unknown.

His family searched for him in hospitals, morgues, and detention centers in the area, without success. Furthermore, his disappearance was reported to the Carabineros police stations of Lota Alto and Lota Bajo.

However, there is no record that the Carabineros reported this event to the courts of justice at the time. Considering the evidence gathered and the investigation carried out by this Corporation, the Superior Council reached the conviction that Lorenzo Rivera Ramírez was detained by State agents and disappeared while being held in that status.

For this reason, he was declared a victim of human rights violations.
