GILBERTO HERNANDEZ is Chilean and lives in Leeds. As a young journalist in 1973, he was imprisoned in Chile because he worked for a newspaper which supported the left-wing government of Salvadore Allende.
Allende’s government was overthrown in the military coup led by Augusto Pinochet, with the complicity of the CIA. Thousands of Allende supporters were murdered or “disappeared.”
Hernandez was freed after international pressure won an agreement from Pinochet’s military dictatorship that political prisoners would be released but on condition they went into exile.
