Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Authorities are probing whether Pinochet ordered the 1982 poisoning of ex-President Eduardo Frei Montalva. An autopsy has found traces of poison in Frei Montalva’s remains. The investigation also uncovered evidence unidentified doctors removed most of Frei Montalva’s organs just minutes after his death.
