ON September 11, 1973, a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet seized control of Chile. The US-backed plot deposed the socialist Popular Unity government led by Salvador Allende. The Pinochet regime embarked on an extensive and brutal terror campaign against Allende’s supporters. Many were kidnapped and tortured. Thousands were murdered or “disappeared.”
Over the following months and years, around 200,000 Chileans were forced into exile. Among them were Luis Bustamante and Carmen Brauning Rodriguez. They left their home city of Valdivia shortly after the coup to live in hiding in Santiago. From there they travelled on to Buenos Aires.
