And in Chile, the protest singer Victor Jara has been given a public burial thirty-six years after his murder. Chilean military forces tortured and killed Jara days after the US-backed overthrow of the elected president Salvador Allende. Jara’s hands were smashed so he could no longer play guitar before he was shot over forty times. On Friday, Jara’s widow Joan Jara led a funeral procession of thousands of mourners.

Joan Jara: “This strange funeral for Victor, thirty-six years after his death, is an act of love, of grief for all of our dead. We know that here among this multitude, there are many families that suffer the same pain that our family suffers.”

A former army conscript was recently charged with Jara’s murder. Chilean prosecutors are still searching for two former army officers said to have led Jara’s torture and killing.
