One morning in June 2015, six men in suits and ties stepped into the elevator of a business building in Santiago Centro, reached the fifth floor, and entered an office where none of them worked. Juan Saravia, the son of a communist militant who was detained and tortured during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, does not usually wear a suit, but that day the clothing was part of his political objective: to reach the place where Andrés Terrisse Castro worked—the former head of information technology for Chile's National Intelligence Center (CNI), who until that day held the same position at a debt collection company—and expose him. Terrisse is accused of keeping secret the information that could lead to the whereabouts of those who suffered political executions during Pinochet's dictatorship. That morning in 2015, while Terrisse's coworkers hid, not knowing exactly what was happening, Saravia began to paste posters on the office window displaying the face of the former CNI agent, his full name, the position he held during the dictatorship, and the accusation that he is withholding information regarding the whereabouts of the forcibly disappeared. It was a new act by the Comisión Funa, an organization born to combat impunity through collective, social punishment by exposing those involved in crimes against humanity who remain at liberty. A concrete action to feel that justice is becoming a reality, similar to the "escraches" often carried out by activists and relatives in Argentina and Brazil. "Funa" comes from Mapudungun—the Mapuche language—and means "to bring what is rotten to light." Founded by a group of victims' relatives, its trajectory has been legitimized as a peaceful way of enacting citizen justice against civil or former military officials of the dictatorship and has inspired scenes in films such as Los Perros by Marcela Said or the recently released Cabros de Mierda by Gonzalo Justiniano. The Comisión Funa has carried out some 200 public denunciations since it was founded on October 1, 1999, with an action featuring Alejandro Jorge Forero Álvarez, a cardiologist who was confronted while working at a private medical center in Santiago. Forero Álvarez, also a former CNI agent and member of the Comando Conjunto, has been accused of torturing prisoners and drugging them before making them disappear. He was prosecuted by Carlos Cerda, a Supreme Court minister, and was later sought by the justice system again for the disappearance of the communist militant Víctor Vega, but he remains at liberty.

The torturers: who they are and where they are

"I was raped, they applied electricity to me, they burned me with cigarettes, they gave me 'hickeys,' they put rats on me. I think I was in Venda Sexy (a secret DINA facility); they tied me to a stretcher where trained dogs raped me.

I was always covered with tape, then a blindfold, and then a hood. They laughed, they offered us food and gave us orange peels. They would wake us up at night so we would lose our sense of time." (Testimony of a 16-year-old girl, kidnapped in the Metropolitan Region, who was later expelled from the country without her family.) The horror became real for all Chileans.

Some will continue to say it is a lie, that the survivors "were paid to speak against the Armed Forces," or ultimately that "they deserved it." But the country has already learned the truth, and even a model-host wants to "know the names of the torturers." That is the idea of this special: to provide a part of the truth that does not have to wait 50 years to be known.

That is one of the many criticisms made of the Report on Political Imprisonment and Torture presented by Ricardo Lagos on the night of Sunday, November 28, through a pre-recorded speech for the national broadcast aired before the news programs on television channels.

Alone, with no victims or relatives to look in the eye, the President of the Republic fulfilled the ritual of informing his fellow citizens. There was no symbolic delivery of the text, no possibility of asking questions, no recognition of the motives that led so many men and women to torture their compatriots, no accurate criticism, no names of victims or perpetrators, and no background information was provided to the Justice system, as had been done after the Rettig Report and even the Dialogue Table.

Reactions born of hatred

Appointed senators and former uniformed officers reacted by dismissing their participation in the crimes. Former Admiral Jorge Martínez Bush demanded a "full stop" to end the "lies" against his institution.

The other former admiral, Jorge Arancibia, flatly denied the possibility of "decommissioning" the La Esmeralda, "which can only be decommissioned in combat," and threatened: "I cannot commit, nor can anyone else, that something will never happen again if I don't know what causes it." Many insisted on Hermógenes Pérez de Arce's thesis regarding the baseless slanders against the uniformed officers and the "military government," repeated by retired generals and admirals.

Appointed senator and former commander-in-chief of the FACH, Ramón Vega, supported his institution's official statement and added: "We are lamenting the consequences today and we are investigating them, but a plan for torture—at least I never heard of it, it was never analyzed, not at the War Academy, nor at the Aviation School, nor in any training school was the word 'torture' ever heard." Senators Rodolfo Stange and Fernando Cordero, former general directors of the Carabineros, did not accept institutional responsibility for the torture and asserted that "there are no reasons for the uniformed police to apologize." Stange criticized the report on torture "because it borders on the unconstitutional, calling into question the institutions and not the individuals. I participated in the government junta, but I do not make a mea culpa because I do not feel responsible for any extreme situation as is being indicated in Bishop Valech's commission," he noted. Cordero, for his part, said that one would have to "complete the third leg of the table, because at this moment the table is wobbly; a mea culpa must be made for what happened before September 11, 1973, which was the cause of all the situations that occurred subsequently." The current General Director, Alberto Cienfuegos, also appeared distant from the possibility of apologizing or assuming institutional responsibility, although he should answer for what his role was, starting March 25, 1974, when as a lieutenant he was appointed on a service commission to serve as Head of the Information Office of the National Executive Secretariat for Detainees, remembered by many people by its acronym: SENDET. The UDI, National Renewal, and Lavín opted to downplay the profile, to appear in deep shock, even asserting that their participation in the dictatorship was, precisely, to prevent further abuses from being committed and to pave the way for democracy. No one believed them. Sergio Fernández continued trying to dismiss his participation in human rights violations, but his cabinet colleague Mónica Madariaga asserted that in the clandestine torture centers, the agents knew him as "the car’e jote." Soon he will have to begin continuous visits to the courts, along with Sergio Onofre Jarpa, Sergio Diez, Ambrosio Rodríguez, among so many others, to answer the many questions that arise about their responsibilities as civil authorities. A new avalanche of lawsuits for torture, like those already filed by hundreds of former political prisoners, is announced following the delivery of the report. Fernández Fernández must answer, for example, for why he denied the existence of Villa Grimaldi to the Justice system, as demonstrated by the classified official letter in which he responds on May 18, 1978, to the inquiry from the Third Criminal Court of Greater Santiago.

Demands from organizations

The coalition of organizations of former political prisoners reacted in unison (see page 2), and the groups of victims' relatives joined the denunciation. The Communist Party announced new lawsuits and added that "the main reparation the country expected is one that is proportional to the damage caused.

This implies truth and full justice for all victims. We demand that, for the sake of those principles, the Report be made public in its entirety; that the names of the torturers be handed over to the courts of justice and that all judicial processes that are required be initiated; that their files be declassified immediately and not in 50 years; that all those responsible for torture and abuse be immediately removed from the armed and police forces; that an end be put to the military doctrine whose matrix is established by North American imperialism, and in which Chilean military and police cadres are and have been systematically instructed to repress their own people." The issue of monetary reparation was not the center of the controversy, except for Ricardo Lagos's attempt to blackmail the tortured with the threat of having to take money from social programs to pay their compensation. From CODEPU, another demand was made: "Just as new deadlines are going to be opened to reconsider the status of victims for those who did not qualify, we propose that, because it is a crime against humanity, there cannot be an exclusionary deadline for qualification. In this sense, the State must open a new period for new submissions from people who, for various reasons, did not attend the initial call, especially when the Report itself points out that the testimonies collected 'only represent a partial sample of the total universe of people affected by such human rights violations during the military regime'." Thus, neither the mea culpa that some media outlets, such as Canal 13, tried to make, nor the "astonishment" of some dictatorship officials like Jorge Hevia, have managed to remove the main issue from the center: in Chile, there was torture. Torture was systematic and organized, supported by the entire infrastructure of the State, which had become a terrorist entity; hundreds of men and women were trained to subject other men and women to the most terrible abuses. The use of rats and dogs to sexually assault prisoners, electricity on the most delicate corners of their bodies, mock executions, food deprivation for long periods, and many other aberrations were committed against those they considered "enemies," "humanoids" in the words of one of the members of the Military Junta. The other thing that has been clear is that the survivors have had the courage and dignity to recount what they suffered, to transform it into hope and the desire to continue insisting on the need to transform this country, to continue fighting to make the dreams of those who could not come to give their testimony a reality: the executed and the forcibly disappeared.

DINA: Pinochet's hand

"I always complied (...) in accordance with the orders that the President of the Republic gave me. Only he, as the Superior Authority of the DINA, could dispose and order the missions to be executed, and always, in my capacity as Delegate of the President and Executive Director of the DINA, I strictly complied with what was ordered." (Manuel Contreras Sepúlveda, director of the DINA).

In the trials against the DINA, looking at the list of those indicted and convicted, it would seem that the only ones who made it up were a few commanders led by its director Juan Manuel Contreras Sepúlveda, alias "Mamo" and "Mojón." Pedro Octavio Espinoza Bravo, alias "Don Rodrigo"; Raúl Eduardo Iturriaga Neumann, alias "Don Elías" and "Luis Gutiérrez"; Miguel Krassnoff Martchenko, alias "caballo loco"; and the operatives Gerardo Godoy García, Basclay Zapata Reyes, and Osvaldo Romo Mena always appear.
