Dear all:
I work in ethnographic research in the French CNRS. Exceptionnally, I am
adressing myself to you on a subject that is not ethnography. As a
Chilean exile living in France, I want to ask you to help us, by
supporting the UK'government in its action against the Chilean
ex-dictator Pinochet.
All of us, Chileans, we have friends and near relatives that were
arbitrarily imprisoned, tortured,killed or made "disappear" under
Pinochet's dictatorship. We are only asking for justice. After all this
terrible years, people in our country are so afraid that even now, that
Pinochet is (half) retired, they don't dare asking for it themselves.
How can you help us? (1) By writing (faxing) to the British Government
and the House of Commons and making them know you agree and support the
action they are carrying on against Pinochet and that they should not
permit him to leave the UK. Crimes against humanity and genocide are
inprescriptible, they cannot benefit of any sort of amnisty.

(2) You can also write to your MP's and to the major newspapers, the
Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and join radio 'chat shows' to
express your position against Pinochet.
All this must be done very quickly because the British govenment can
decide about Pinochet from next Thursday.
So please do something now! We count on every one's solidarity. Thanking
you for all of us
Ana Vasquez
