NEWS IN BRIEF
Chile's former dictator
freed for health reasons
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile's highest
court ruled Monday that Augusto Pinochet
can't be put on trial because of his mental
problems, a decision that will likely end the
86-year-old former dictator's legal troubles.
Voting 4 to 1, the Supreme Court reaf
firmed a stay of proceedings ordered a year
ago by an appeals court.
The court cited the mental health prob
lems of Pinochet, who suffers from demen
tia, an irreversible mental illness, as the rea
son for its decision.
The four judges supporting the stay
ordered lower court judge Juan Guzman to
halt a criminal case brought two years ago
against Pinochet.
Guzman launched the case after Pinochet
returned from England, where he had spent
503 days under house arrest after a Spanish
judge requested his extradition for human
rights abuses committed during his regime
from 1973 to 1990.
Monday's decision did not acquit Pinoch
— rather, it just determined that hecanU
put on trial because of his health. PinoclJ
also suffers from diabetes and arthritis,^
a pacemaker and has had at least tfe
mild strokes since 1998.
He is accused of 18 kidnappings and :
homicides in the "Caravan of Death,"am ^
itary squad that executed 75 political pr?
oners shortly after he seized power in 19
Pinochet, 86, spent the middle of laj
week a military hospital for a cold andde
tal problems. Those close to him sayli
health is very delicate, though his oppo
nents say these accounts are exaggerate!
denying even that he has diabetes.
Since legal procedures began, Pinoche
has been living in recluse in someof hislm !
urious homes in Santiago as well as
coastal towns.
Guzman's office said the judge will cor
tinue to try other officials, such as Ge
Sergio Arellano, accused of being involve:
in the murders. Arellano was the allege:
head of the "death caravan" sent fc :
Pinochet to cities throughout the north.
