General Augusto Pinochet Died

Pinochet fights for life after heart attack

Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet fought to survive on Monday after a heart attack put him in a Santiago military hospital, while teary-eyed supporters of all ages held vigil outside.

Pinochet (91) who ran Chile with brutal discipline for 17 years, was in stable but serious condition after an angioplasty on Sunday to unblock clogged arteries.

"It's difficult to say he is out of danger. The next 24 to 48 hours are critical," his doctor, Juan Ignacio Vergara, said on Sunday night. "There could be complications ... renal, respiratory failures."

Before the angioplasty, Pinochet was given the Roman Catholic last rites traditionally administered by a priest to the dying. His son, Marco Antonio Pinochet, said Pinochet was brought back from near death.

Doctors said they were trying to avoid surgery, which would be risky because of Pinochet's age.

Doctors plan to provide their next update on the retired general's health at 10am. (1pm GMT).

Pinochet is accused of torture, killings, kidnappings and other human rights abuses in his 1973 coup and subsequent rule, when more than 3 000 people died in political violence, many at the hands of secret police.

Prosecutors have failed to bring the former dictator to trial, with his defence team always successfully arguing he was too ill to face charges.

Pinochet has been in frail health for some time and in recent weeks he has suggested his end could be near.

"Today, close to the end of my days, I want to make clear that I hold no rancour toward anybody, that I love my country above all else," he said in a statement read by his wife on his 91st birthday last week.

A family friend told local television on Sunday night that Pinochet had recently said he was in the "last phase" of his life.

"This is the worst condition he has been in," said retired general and Pinochet spokesperson Guillermo Garin.

In his birthday statement, Pinochet accepted "political responsibility" for acts committed during his rule.

Two days later he was placed under house arrest in the murder of two bodyguards of former Marxist President Salvador Allende, who he overthrew in the 1973 coup.

About 28 000 people were tortured and many more fled the country during the ensuing dictatorship but many Chileans adore Pinochet and thank him for saving them from Marxism.

"Immortal" said one placard held up by a supporter outside the Santiago military hospital where people of all ages chanted "Pinochet, Pinochet."

In 2004, disclosures that he had stashed $27-million in secret offshore bank accounts during his presidency alienated many of his supporters.

Pinochet's condition improves after heart attack

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) -- Doctors said former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was well on the road to recovery on Tuesday after a weekend heart attack that his family said nearly killed the long-ailing 91-year-old.

"Today he's going to get out of bed and do some physical therapy in the hospital," Dr. Juan Ignacio Vergara said outside the Santiago military hospital where Pinochet is being treated.

"The general is in a good state of health. He's well, conscious, talking and he's eating," he said.

Pinochet, accused of murder and torture during his dictatorial rule of Chile from 1973 to 1990, underwent an emergency angioplasty early on Sunday to reopen blocked arteries.

Vergara said he would remain in the hospital for at least 10 days.

Marco Antonio Pinochet, the retired general's youngest son, said his father, best known of the strongmen who ruled much of South America in the 1970s and '80s, had been on the brink of death in the moments after the heart attack. (Watch Pinochet's impact on Chile )

Responding to skepticism over his father's illness, Marco Antonio said, "If he had arrived (at the hospital) five minutes later, the doctor tells me, he would have died."

Many Chileans from the political left have accused the former dictator of faking ill health to avoid prosecution for human rights abuses and fraud.

Pinochet still evokes strong emotions among Chileans even though he is no longer relevant on the political scene, which has been dominated for 16 years by center-left former exiles from his regime.

Some Chileans say he saved the country from communism by ousting leftist President Salvador Allende in a 1973 coup. Others view him as a murderer who should be tried.

"Chile was living the law of the jungle, it was chaos. Pinochet brought us back from the chaos to make us a productive country," said Eugenia Bocas, 43, one of a handfull of Pinochet supporters still camped out outside the hospital on Tuesday.

She said her family had lost all its property to agrarian reforms before the coup.

"How can we not thank him?" she said.

Last week, Pinochet was placed under house arrest over the murder of two of Allende's bodyguards in 1973, but a panel of judges on the Santiago Appeals Court ruled on Monday he should be freed on bail.

About 3,000 people were killed in political violence during his 17-year rule and about 28,000 were tortured as the military cracked down on leftist dissidents. Many more fled into exile.

Many loyalists lost faith in Pinochet when it came out in 2004 that he hid about $28 million in foreign bank accounts. He has been charged with tax fraud, and courts are investigating the origin of the funds.

Dozens of supporters began a vigil on Sunday outside the hospital, clutching flags, placards and portraits of the retired general. A handful remained early on Tuesday, chanting, "Of course, I love you, you freed Chile."

پينوشه مرد

خبرگزاري فارس: ژنرال آگوستو پينوشه ديكتاتور سابق شيلي مرد.



به نقل از خبرگزاري آسوشيتدپرس، پينوشه كه از سال 1973 تا 1990 رهبري شيلي را بر عهده داشت امروز بر اثر نارسايي قلبي مرد.

منابع بيمارستاني گزارش دادند، حال پينوشه امروز ناگهان رو به وخامت گذاشت و پزشكان مجبور شدند او را به بخش آي سي يو بيمارستاني در شيلي منتقل كنند.

وي روز پنج*شنبه بعد از يك هفته مراقبت*هاي پزشكان در بخش آي سي يو، از آن بيرون آمده بود.

پينوشه در زمان حياتش با اتهامات مختلفي از جمله شكنجه مخالفان، فساد مالي، داشتن حسابهاي بانكي مخفي در خارج از كشور و اندوختن ثروت نامشروع مواجه بود.

وي كه در 25 نوامبر امسال 91 ساله شده بود اين اتهامات را رد كرده و حتي گفته بود كه برخي از آنها را به خاطر نيز نمي آورد.

يك قاضي شيليايي كه مسئوليت رسيدگي به پرونده پينوشه را بر عهده دارد تقاضاي وكلاي مدافع وي را براي صرفنظر كردن از محاكمه ديكتاتور سابق شيلي به خاطر شرايط سلامتي او رد كرده و گفته بود براي قبول چنين درخواستي متهم بايد به اختلال حواس و يا مشكل ذهني مبتلا باشد كه در مورد پينوشه چنين امري صادق نيست.

Chile's Pinochet dead


SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - Ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile from 1973-1990 and spent his old age fighting human rights, fraud and corruption charges, died on Sunday a week after suffering a heart attack, Chilean television reported.

Pinochet, 91, grabbed power in a coup and went on to become the best known of the South American dictators of the 1970s and 1980s. Under his regime more than 3,000 people died in political violence, many at the hands of repressive secret police.

He was accused of dozens of human rights violations but a lengthy effort to bring him to trial in Chile failed as his defense lawyers successfully argued that he was too ill to face charges.

Despite Pinochet's human rights record, many Chileans loved him and said he saved Chile from Marxism.

But even many loyal supporters abandoned him after it came out in 2004 that he had stashed some $27 million in secret off-shore bank accounts that were under investigation at the time of his death.

در پی مرگ ژنرال آگوستو پينوشه، رهبر نظامی پيشين شيلی، هزاران نفر از مخالفان وی با شادی به خيابان ها ريختند که اين امر موجب درگيری های پراکنده ای با پليس شد.
درگيری ها زمانی رخ داد که مخالفان آقای پينوشه با رقص و پايکوبی قصد حرکت به سوی کاخ رياست جمهوری را داشتند و نيروهای پليس برای کنترل جمعيت از گاز اشک آور و دستگاه های شليک آب استفاده کردند.

در همين حال هواداران رهبر نظامی فقيد شيلی نيز اطراف بيمارستان نظامی محل درگذشت وی جمع شدند و به سوگواری پرداختند.

ژنرال آگوستو پینوشه که به هنگام مرگ 91 سال داشت، در سال 1973 طی کودتايی عليه دولت منتخب سالوادور آلنده، رییس جمهوری چپگرای شیلی، به قدرت رسید و تا سال 1990 در راس قدرت بود.

در دوران 17 ساله حکومت وی بیش از 3 هزار نفر کشته یا "ناپدید" شدند. وی پس از برکناری از قدرت بارها به نقض حقوق بشر متهم شد اما به دلیل وخامت وضع جسمانی هیچگاه تحت محاکمه قرار نگرفت.


امروز، درحالی که عمرم به شماره افتاده، می خواهم ابهامی باقی نگذارم که از هيچ کس کينه ای به دل ندارم و بالاتر از هر چيز به کشور عشق می ورزم


آگوستو پينوشه، رهبر نظامی پيشين شيلی

ژنرال پينوشه هفته پیش دچار سکته قلبی شد و بلافاصله به يک بيمارستان نظامی در سانتياگو، انتقال یافت و تحت درمان قرار گرفت. این بیمارستان طی بیانیه ای گفته است که وضعیت جسمانی آقای پینوشه ناگهان وخیم شد.

دکتر خوان ایگناسیو ورگارا، از مدیران این بیمارستان نظامی به خبرنگاران گفته است که خانواده ژنرال پینوشه در هنگام مرگ بر بالين او بودند. وی گفته است که جزئیات مرگ رهبر نظامی پیشین شیلی به زودی اعلام می شود.

دولت شيلی برنامه برای تشييع جنازه رسمی آقای پينوشه ندارد، اما او روز سه شنبه با افتخارات نظامی دفن خواهد شد. در همين حال يک سخنگوی دولت شيلی گفت: "دولت اجازه داده است پرچم ها در مراکز نظامی به حالت نيمه برافراشته درآيد."

مخالفان خشمگين؛ هواداران غمگين

پیش از مرگ آگوستو پینوشه، تشریفاتی مذهبی توسط یک کشیش کاتولیک، برای وی انجام شد.


در دوران زمامداری ژنرال پينوشه حدود سه هزار شيليايی مخالف وی کشته يا 'ناپديد' شدند

خبرنگار بی بی سی می گوید که از زمان بستری شدن آقای پینوشه در این بیمارستان، حدود 150 طرفدار وی شمع به دست جلوی بیمارستان جمع شده بودند و احتمال می رود با انتشار خبر مرگ وی، تعداد بیشتری از طرفدارانش به این جمع اضافه شوند.

مخالفان ژنرال پينوشه از اينکه وی پيش از اجرای عدالت در مورد او به خاطر اتهامات نقض حقوق بشر درگذشته ابراز خشم کرده اند.

آقای پينوشه عليرغم داشتن چنين کارنامه ای در زمينه حقوق بشر، در ميان برخی از مردم شيلي حبوب بود چرا که به عقيده آنها کشورشان را از مارکسيسم نجات داد.

اما به گفته خبرنگاران پس از آنکه در سال 2004 معلوم شد او درگير يک اختلاس 27 ميليون دلاری بوده است حتی بسياری از هواداران وفادارش نيز او را رها کردند.

'مسئوليت سياسی آن سالها را می پذيرم'

آقای پینوشه از ماه نوامبر سال جاری ميلادی در ارتباط با ربوده شدن دو نفر در سال 1973 تحت بازداشت خانگی قرار داشت.

این اتهامات به عملیات "کاروان مرگ" بر می گشت که در آن طی یک عملیات نظامی، مخالفان دولت از میان برداشته می شدند.

ژنرال پينوشه ماه گذشته در بيانيه ای به مناسبت نود و يکمين سالگرد تولدش گفته بود که او "مسئوليت سياسی" اعمالی که در دوران حکومت او روی داده را می پذيرد.

در آن بيانيه که توسط همسر آقای پينوشه قرائت شد آمده بود: "امروز، درحالی که عمرم به شماره افتاده، می خواهم ابهامی باقی نگذارم که از هيچ کس کينه ای به دل ندارم و بالاتر از هر چيز به کشور عشق می ورزم."

اعضای خانواده و دوستان آگوستو پينوشه، رهبر نظامی سابق شيلی، طی مراسم تشييع جنازه وی در سانتياگو، پايتخت، برای آخرين بار به وی ادای احترام کرده اند. پيکر وی سوزانده خواهد شد.
خانم ميشل باچلت، رئيس جمهور شيلی، که خود از قربانيان شکنجه در دوران حاکميت نظامی پينوشه بود در اين مراسم حضور نيافت.

او وزير دفاع را به اين مراسم فرستاد اما هواداران ژنرال پينوشه او را هو کردند.

ژنرال پينوشه روز يکشنبه در سن 91 سالگی درگذشت. در دوران 17 ساله حکومت وی که از سال 1973 با کودتای نظامی آغاز شد هزاران نفر کشته يا ناپديد شدند و او به نقض گسترده حقوق بشر متهم بود.

دولت شيلی از برگزاری مراسم دولتی برای تشييع جنازه آگوستو پينوشه خودداری کرد به همين دليل مراسمی با افتخارات نظامی در آکادمی نظامی سانتياگو برگزار شد.

چندين هزار نفر از طرفداران وی در اين مراسم که طی آن پرچم ها به حالت نيمه برافراشته در آمد تجمع کردند.

لوسيا پينوشه هيريارت دختر ژنرال پينوشه از جمعيت خواست آنچه را او "مشعل آزادی" حکومت پدرش خواند زنده نگاه دارند.

دانيل شوايملر، خبرنگار بی بی سی در سانتياگو، می گويد برخی از هواداران ژنرال پينوشه عکس های او را تکان می دادند.

پيکر آگوستو پينوشه اکنون با هليکوپتر به ساحل برده می شود تا آنجا سوزانده شود. خاکستر وی تسليم خانواده اش خواهد شد.

خانم باچلت پيشتر گفت که شيليايی ها نبايد آنچه را در دوران زمامداری پينوشه رخ داد فراموش کنند.

وی گفت: "تنها آن زمان است که نگرشی سازنده نسبت به آينده خواهيم داشت، و احترام به حقوق بنيادی تمامی مردم شيلی تضمين خواهد شد."

وی افزود تصميم برای خودداری از برگزاری تشييع جنازه دولتی برای پينوشه با در نظر گرفتن بهترين منافع کشور اتخاذ شده است.

احساسات متناقض

مرگ آگوستو پينوشه به احساسات متناقضی در اين کشور دامن زده است. مخالفان آن را جشن گرفته اند اما گروه ديگری برای آگوستو پينوشه که او را منجی کشور می دانند عزاداری می کنند.


پينوشه ماه گذشته 91 سالگی خود را جشن گرفته بود

بنابه تخمين ها روز دوشنبه تا 60 هزار نفر از کنار تابوت رو باز حاوی جسد پينوشه که در لباس نظامی در آن خوابانده شده بود گذشتند.

اما بسياری خشمگين هستند که ژنرال پينوشه بدون آنکه به اعتقاد آنها به سزای اعمال خود برسد درگذشته است.

يک وکيل برخی از قربانيان گفت: "آن جنايتکار بی آنکه هرگز طعم مجرم شناخته شدن به خاطر همه جناياتش را بچشد درگذشت."

آگوستو پینوشه در سال 1973 طی کودتايی عليه دولت منتخب سالوادور آلنده، رییس جمهوری چپگرای شیلی به قدرت رسید و تا سال 1990 در راس قدرت بود.

آقای پینوشه از ماه نوامبر در ارتباط با ربوده شدن دو نفر در سال 1973 تحت بازداشت خانگی قرار داشت.

ارتش شيلی تصميم گرفت آگوستو پينوشه نوه ديکتاتور شيلی را که تازه در گذشت از ارتش اخراج کند. صحبت های او در تجليل از کودتای خونين پدر بزرگ هنگام مراسم ترحيم علت اين اخراج است.

In Letter, Pinochet Called Abuses in Chile 'Necessary'

In a letter to Chileans written to be published after his death, Gen. Augusto Pinochet said he wished he hadn't had to stage the bloody 1973 coup that put him in power and called the abuses during his long rule inevitable.

His fate was public shunning and unimagined loneliness, he said in the message made public Sunday.

The former dictator, who died Dec. 10 of heart failure at age 91, insisted that the military takeover avoided civil war and a Marxist dictatorship, and said his 1973-90 rule never had "an institutional plan" to abuse human rights.

"But it was necessary to act with maximum rigor to avoid a widening of the conflict," Pinochet wrote.

According to an official report, at least 3,197 people were killed for political reasons in the 17 years after Pinochet overthrew elected Socialist President Salvador Allende on Sept. 11, 1973. In addition, Pinochet's security forces tortured about 29,000 people and forced tens of thousands into exile after the coup, during which Allende died.

Pinochet's "message to all my compatriots to be published after my death" was made public by the Pinochet Foundation, a group of former aides. Its president, Hernan Guiloff, said he received the text from Pinochet in 2004.

When he died, Pinochet was under indictment charging him with human rights abuses under his dictatorship and tax evasion in connection with secret multimillion-dollar foreign bank accounts.

Many who endorsed the dictatorship's repression of dissidents turned against Pinochet after hearing allegations that his family spirited $28 million into overseas accounts.

"How I wish the Sept. 11, 1973, military action had not been necessary!" Pinochet wrote. "How I wish the Marxist-Leninist ideology had not entered our fatherland!"

He insisted the violations under his government were inevitable because "as part of the characteristics of our rivals, it was necessary to implement certain procedures of military control, such as temporary imprisonment, authorized exile, executions by firing squad after military trials," he said. "As long as ideological and armed fanaticism continued to endanger stability, we could not lower our arms."
