智利警方于周六在该国南部捕获了前上校纳尔逊·哈塞，他因参与1973年民谣歌手维克托·哈拉的谋杀案而被定罪[1]。哈塞在2023年8月被判处25年监禁后随即潜逃，已逃亡近三年[1]。
哈拉在皮诺切特政变后仅五天内遭绑架、刑讯逼供并被射杀44枪身亡[1]。这起案件涉及8名军官，其中一名将军赫尔南·查孔在被捕时自杀，其余5人已入狱[1]。哈塞被判的25年刑期中包括15年谋杀罪和10年绑架罪[1]。2023年美国曾向智利引渡已退休陆军中尉佩德罗·巴里恩托斯参与该案[1]。哈拉的遗体被带往一座体育场，政变后约5000人在该地遭逮捕并被关押[1]。
Chilean police apprehended former Colonel Nelson Haase in the country's southern Los Lagos region on Saturday, ending nearly three years on the run [1]. Haase had been convicted of the abduction and murder of folk singer Victor Jara and sentenced to 25 years in prison—15 years for the murder charge and 10 years for kidnapping [1]. He fled after his sentencing in August 2023 [1].
Jara was seized, tortured, and shot 44 times within five days of the 1973 military coup that brought dictator Augusto Pinochet to power [1]. His body was taken to a sports stadium where approximately 5,000 people were arrested and detained in the aftermath of the coup [1]. Haase's arrest represents a significant development in a major human rights case involving eight military officers [1]. In 2018, all eight officers were convicted; one general, Hernan Chacon, died by suicide when arrested, while five others are already imprisoned [1]. In 2023, the United States extradited retired Army Lieutenant Pedro Barrientos to Chile in connection with the case [1]. During Pinochet's 17-year authoritarian rule, thousands of people were tortured, executed, or disappeared [1].
