TRADE union and political activists in Sheffield joined members of the city’s Chilean community on Saturday to commemorate victims of the 1973 fascist coup in Chile.
The event marked the 51st anniversary of the 1973 coup, when the elected government of Chile’s president Salvador Allende was overthrown by General Augusto Pinochet.
In the years following, thousands of left-wing political activists in Chile “disappeared” or were murdered by the military regime.
