SANTIAGO, Chile — Three more people listed as missing victims of the nation’s dictatorship have either been located or died under unrelated circumstances.
Activists on Sunday said the cases — now four in all — threaten to tarnish efforts to faithfully document abuses under Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s 1973-90 regime. Chile still mourns more than 1,100 political prisoners who vanished at the hands of the military dictatorship.
Officials maintain the four reappearances are isolated cases among missing victims of the dictatorship who were presumably abducted and killed.
But presidential spokesman Edgardo Riveros said Sunday that the government is analyzing whether to reopen Chile’s post-dictatorship truth-and- reconciliation commission, saying it also could be an opportunity to recognize victims who were never documented.
