The bishops were particularly disturbed by the mounting evidence that Pinochet was not living up to his pledge...
...helping political prisoners. Angered, Pinochet asked Cardinal Silva to close down the committee. After the cardinal reluctantly agreed, the government announced an amnesty for political prisoners-which, as it turned out, applied only to those neither convicted nor charged.
