Chileans Commemorate 50th anniversary of Military Coup

SANTIAGO, CHILE - SEPTEMBER 09: Chileans watch as an image of former President Salvador Allende and his wife Hortensia Bussi is projected onto La Moneda presidential palace ahead of the 50th anniversary of the coup d'etat led by Augusto Pinochet on September 09, 2023 in Santiago, Chile. The military coup on Sept. 11, 1973 put an end to the democratically elected government of Allende and threw the country into years of international condemnation. Allende died during the military attack on the palace, which was deemed a suicide. More than 40,000 people, according to the Chilean Ministry of Justice, were victims of the military regime between 1973-1989, including those imprisoned, tortured, executed and "disappeared."
