#ChileViolatesHumanRights NOT ONLY DURING PINOCHETS DICTATORSHIP. THAT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
I know its easy to ignore and not be empathic when u dont know someone whos directly affected by the issue, but now u do, u have me. Dont know me? Im Pablo, from Chile.

It started with my grandma who was a poor woman from the countryside who moved to the city looking for better opportunities since both of her parents died. She married and had kids, she was a normal housewife... Her crime? She was poor, and lived in the so-called slums of

Santiago. Villa francia, does it sound familiar to you? probably not, but if u are chilean you may get where im trying to get
She never got involved in politics, but still she was accused to be communist and was arrested.
She didn't have a physical torture, but what she witnessed

those FOUR DAYS were enough to mark HER WHOLE LIFE.
My grandpa used to live in a "campamento". (Basically a shanty town) he was beaten by cops just BECAUSE bc they would do that. Go Every time and beat up or kill ppl just BECAUSE. NO REASON.

More people in my family and my neighbourhood suffered the same and even worse fates. People who was average and one day disappeared FOREVER. why? bc they were poor, or DID KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE NOW? NO. SINCE OCTOBER 18 EVERYTHING HAS TURNED THE SAME.
My grandma started to revive EVERYTHING and she became so scared bc ppl who i knew... THEIR HOUSES WERE FUCKING RAIDED BY THE COPS

YES. THIS WAS IN 2019 IN "DEMOCRACY". SHE THREW ALL MY BOOKS AWAY, EVERYTHING THAT COULD SAY I WAS COMMUNIST OR SOMETHING SIMILAR BC SHE WAS SO SCARED THAT WHAT SHE SAW DURING THOSE YEARS COULD HAPPEN TO ME

and it was not an unwarranted fear. it was really happening again, everything she saw at that time was happening, and just as it happened to her it could happen to me

SHE WAS SCARED EVERYDAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY BC WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED ON SOCIAL ISSUES. Everytime i went out, everytime she saw ppl being kidnapped again.

WHEN MY FRIENDS AND PEOPLE I KNEW WENT THROUGH THAT. WHEN MY FRIENDS WERE ARRESTED. WHEN MY FRIENDS WERE BEATEN UP AND SHOT

EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS FAKE ASS DEMOCRACY WAS MORE FAKE THAN EVER, AND IT STILL IS!
