The Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation asked the authorities to verify if there are mass graves in Palloco with remains of missing detainees.
A raw testimony about what he experienced during his time in military service, including the visit to a place where there were remains of missing detainees (DD.DD.)delivered this Wednesday by former conscript Cristóbal Sanhueza, who was a companion of Franco Vargas in the Motorized Brigade No. 24 Huamachuco.
That revelation that Sanhueza made during his conversation with the animators of Contigo en la Mañana, from Chilevisión, generated a prompt reaction from the Villa Grimaldi Park for Peace Corporation, which asked the authorities verify what the young man mentioned about the presence at the site of a grave with bodies of DD.DD.
“Palloco was gloomy, there were even graves of missing people“, Cristóbal revealed in part of the dialogue with Monserrat Álvarez, Julio César Rodríguez and Roberto Cox.
When asked by Roberto Cox about what he meant by that, the former conscript responded that “there were graves. They themselves said there are graves. Behind the bathrooms there were like mass graves, real tombs“.
“Tombs that had to do with detainees missing or with people recently missing?” Cox asked.
“Disappeared detainees, perhaps from… No, not from recently, from previous years, if that regiment was abandoned. Easy 20 years“, answered the young man.
“That’s what they told them…” said Julio César Rodríguez, to which Cristóbal stated that “It’s not what they told us, we saw the graves“.
They ask to verify what the former conscript said about dd.dd.
After the revelations of former conscript Cristóbal Sanhueza, from the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation asked the authorities to investigate if it is true that in that place in the Arica and Parinacota Region there are common graves with remains of DD.DD.
Along with manifesting “his deep concern regarding the statements made by former conscript Cristóbal Sanhueza“, the corporation stated that “we hope that the competent authorities take all appropriate measures and can verify on the ground the veracity of the statements issued by military personnel and that allow us to clarify the existence or not of said graves and tombs and, if they exist, establish their date.“.
