VOICED : Expresos politicos de Pinochet en huelga de hambre

The video discusses a hunger strike by 50 former political prisoners of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile. The strike began on April 13 in Rancagua, near Santiago, due to inadequate pensions that do not cover basic living expenses. The protesters demand an increase in their pensions from $243 to $616 and a compensation of $140,000. They urge the government to listen to their plight, emphasizing their limited time and health. The video also provides historical context, noting that over 3,200 people died and 36,000 were tortured during Pinochet's regime.
