Since the overthrow of the Allende government last September 11. reports from. Chile consistently have reflected widespread violation of human rights by the authoritarian military junta now in power. Shortly after the coup. the Senate Subcommittee on Refugees held a public hearing into the condition of refugees and of human rights in Chile. Testimony at that hearing and subsequent reports of respected international groups disclosed the existence in Chile of summary executions. of torture. of mass arrests. of the deaths of two American citizens. and of continued threats to foreign nationals. Those reports prompted me to introduce an amendment to halt all military aid to Chile.
