    JORGE MIGUEL SALAS PARADISI (25 years old) ⚡️Santiago, 1973⚡️ Mathematics student with disability. No militancy

    Six people were arrested in the early morning of October 16, 1973 from different apartments in the San Borja Towers by Army personnel. At the time of the arrest, his parents explained that he was suffering from severe depression and that, as a result of medication, he was in a state of recurrent lethargy. This made it difficult to wake him up, but he was still captured. The detainees were taken to the Yucatan Barracks (Londres 38), then to the Casa de la Cultura de Barrancas, and later to the area around the Lo Prado tunnel. At the place they were ordered to flee, simulating an escape, at which time they were killed by machine gun fire.

    The bodies were found on October 17, 1973, which initiated an internal investigation in the Army who concluded that it had been a “military error” and proceeded to present the condolences of the Government Junta. However, the Chilean Government later reported that it was a group of people who tried to escape by jumping over a guard post, and sentries on guard duty shot them dead. These versions were dismissed in successive trials as they were evidently contradictory, since the people did not know each other, except for a married couple. On the other hand, one of the people was pregnant and Jorge -due to his health condition- could hardly have escaped.
    In 2017, the University of Chile awarded his posthumous and symbolic degree to Jorge Salas Paradisi of Pedagogy in Mathematics.

    NELSON JOSÉ MÁRQUEZ AGUSTO (31 years old) ⚡ Pisagua, 1974 ⚡Fisherman with cognitive impairment due to torture. Communist militant.

    Nelson was arrested in the city of Iquique. He worked in the merchant navy, for which he was falsely accused of smuggling and drug trafficking. He was transferred to the Pisagua prison camp, where he spent 4 months under permanent torture. His mental state rapidly declined, so that his cognitive impairment became permanent. In such conditions, the military force decided to leave him unguarded in the field located in front of the prison, which allowed him to make an escape attempt to the Caleta Pisagua dock. The escape was discovered, he was recaptured and brutally beaten. Nelson was returned to prison, to be taken to the beach a couple of hours later, where he was finally shot in front of 40 prisoners as part of a collective punishment. The version given by the military indicated that his death was due to suicide. However, his body was found with his hands tied, blindfolded and shot in the clandestine grave of Pisagua in 1990.

    PEDRO PURÍSIMO BARRIA ORDOÑEZ (22 years old) ⚡️Panguipulli, 1973⚡️ Student of typing with physical disability. Militant of the MIR and MCR.

    As a child, Pedro suffered from Poliomyelitis which led him to live with a permanent physical disability and to use crutches to get around. At the age of 22, he was studying typing and was a militant of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) and the Revolutionary Peasant Movement (MCR). He carried out literacy work with the families of the workers of the Panguipulli Timber and Forestry Complex. He was arrested on September 12, 1973 at the Complex along with eleven other workers, who were taken to the Valdivia Public Jail. There he was subjected to a war council, whose legality did not exist, being falsely accused of assaulting the Retén Neltume and sentenced to death along with the other detainees. What witnesses have assured is that the workers together with Pedro were demonstrating for the Carabineros not to join the coup d’état that took place the day before.

    CARLOS VICENTE SALINAS FLORES (21 years old) ⚡Curriñe, 1973 ⚡️ Radio operator with physical disability. Politically executed without militancy.

    A military convoy made up of several vehicles and approximately 90 people detained 17 workers from the Panguipulli Agricultural and Forestry Complex, including Carlos. They were taken to a farm owned by a civilian where they were tortured and, hours later, executed.

    A witness, the following day, recognized several of the victims and declared that most of them had cuts on their hands, fingers, stomachs and some of them had their throats slit and their testicles cut off.

    After approximately fifteen days they were buried in pits on the same property. At a later date that is not possible to specify, civilians went to excavate the graves and moved the remains to a place that has been impossible to determine. They managed to exhume the few remains that remained on the property, which were given to the families.
