Chile bishops seek pardons for military-rule crimes

Posted on 2:16 AM by usman shafiq


The Roman Catholic Church in Chile has urged the government to pardon any members of the country's military who show repentance for the crimes they committed under military rule.

The Chilean Bishops' Conference said there should be room for clemency.

The families of those abused under General Augusto Pinochet's rule reacted angrily, accusing the Church of turning its back on the victims.
