Amnesty International’s Secretary General Irene Khan will lead a visit to Chile between 3 and 8 November 2008, ten years on from the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in London.

During the visit, Irene Khan will meet  survivors and relatives of victims of human rights abuses committed during the Pinochet regime, as well as some of those suffering abuses today – including members of  indigenous communities in Temuco and Calama. She will also meet government and civil society representatives to discuss the human rights challenges facing Chile, as well as participate in public events.

Amnesty International’s delegation will include: Javier Zuñiga, Senior Advisor; Judit Arenas, Head of the Office of the Secretary General; Louise Finer, researcher on South America and Sergio Laurenti, Director of Amnesty International Chile.
