Britain’s High Court will rule tomorrow whether Home Secretary Jack Straw must disclose a crucial medical report on former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, this according to legal authorities today. Straw has said that on the basis of the medical report, he is “minded” to let the ailing former strongman return home and escape trial. He has refused to disclose its contents after promising Pinochet that the report would be confidential. Belgium and six human rights groups want Straw to disclose the medical evidence that led him to declare that Pinochet is unfit to be extradited to Spain for trial on torture charges.
