In Chile, the country’s Supreme Court has ruled that a major human rights lawsuit against former dictator Augusto Pinochet can proceed. Four years ago the same court ruled Pinochet was unfit to stand trial because of dementia but on Monday the court reversed itself. Monday’s high court ruling will allow Pinochet to be tried for the so-called Caravan of Death case dating back to 1973. After Pinochet seized power in a 1973 coup, he oversaw the systematic execution of political opponents. By the time Pinochet’s 17-year-dictatorship ended, more than 3,000 people had died in political killings and tens of thousands more had been arrested and tortured.
