ON “the other 9/11,” in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a coup against the democratically elected government of Chile, overthrew it, and started a campaign of mass imprisonment, murder and torture of his political opponents.
While the so-called “free world” was silent on this (where they had not already actively encouraged the coup), the international labour movement took a leading role in trying to rescue Pinochet’s targets.
In Britain, Edward Heath led a Tory government when the coup took place, but he was replaced in 1974 by Harold Wilson’s Labour government.
