PEDRO JOSÉ VERGARA INOSTROZA (22 years old) ⚡️Conchalí, 1974⚡️Trabajador with physical disability. No militancy.

Known as “Lame Pedro”, he was arrested in La Pincoya, near his home and in the presence of several witnesses. The arrest was carried out by Carabineros and civilians traveling in a private car, as part of a raid for a robbery report. Several people were arrested and taken in the same vehicle to the Conchalí police station. None of them were recorded in the check-in book. Upon learning of this, Pedro’s mother immediately arrived at the facility demanding his release and carrying his crutches; she explained that without them Pedro could not walk. Later, all the detainees were released, except Pedro, who has been missing since that day.
