Motion Text

That this House expresses its condemnation of the proposal in Chile to close the legal investigation into the murder of Victor Jara; notes that those who committed crimes in the former Chile Stadium should not enjoy impunity, since the stadium was under the control of the Chilean armed forces in the days following the military coup when these crimes were committed; and believes that the Chilean courts and Chilean government should now act to ensure that the armed forces hand over information which will enable the officers responsible for the crimes to be identiifed and facilitate the continuance of the investigation into this case which is symbolic both for Chile and the world.
