Yolanda Hortensia CAMPOS PINILLA, 32 years of age, was married and had 8 children. She was with her family at her home in the Los Colonos camp (Santiago) when she was fatally wounded by a gunshot to the head. That night, Carabineros were conducting an operation in the area. The officers fired their weapons.

The general considerations regarding the conduct of the public security forces during the fourth protest, and the evidence gathered regarding this particular death, lead this Commission to presume that the uniformed officers made excessive use of force in maintaining public order, and that they thereby violated the human rights of Yolanda Hortensia Campos.
