This year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Orlando Letelier, a former minister in Salvador Allende’s government, and Ronni Moffitt, his aide, in Washington, D.C. The murders, carried out in 1976, remain a stark symbol of the human rights abuses perpetrated during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile. Letelier, who served as Minister of Defense and Minister of Mining, had been living in exile in the United States, continuing to criticize the Chilean regime. The bombing in Sheridan Circle, Washington, D.C., was orchestrated by DINA, Pinochet’s secret police, under the direction of Manuel Contreras. The case highlighted the long reach of the dictatorship and its willingness to eliminate political opponents even on foreign soil. The anniversary prompts reflection on the lasting impact of these crimes and the ongoing pursuit of justice for the victims of political violence in Chile and beyond. CIPER Chile published an article detailing the significance of this event.
