High court in Chile withdraws Pinochet's immunity

Court 'lifts Pinochet immunity'

Chile's Supreme Court has reportedly stripped former military ruler Gen Augusto Pinochet of his immunity from prosecution on rights violations.
The court's decision would open the way for Gen Pinochet to be charged with kidnapping and torture at the infamous Villa Grimaldi prison in the 1970s.

Chile's President Michelle Bachelet and her mother were among those tortured at the centre, in the capital Santiago.

Gen Pinochet's family say the 90-year-old is too ill to stand trial.

But this claim is disputed by some of the investigators looking into abuses which took place during the 17 years Gen Pinochet ruled with an iron grip.

1. I don't care even if he is in a coma...

wheel his ass out into the courtroom. The Spanish court's decision to send him
back to Chile because he was "ill" was pure bullshit.
