Victor Jara — Explaining a Few Things

March 28, 2007

When Pinochet’s goons arrested Victor Jara the day after the US Backed coup on September 11, 1973,  he was subjected to intense torture before being shot. According to  fellow political prisoners he was taunted by the captors as he lay on the ground to play guitar for them. He defiantly sang a song in support of the murdered Salvador Allende’s political coalition. [Thanks Manfred]
