Pope wants criminals released

14.09.2010 20:11

SANTIAGO, Chile – The Roman Catholic Church is petitioning Chile's government for prisoner pardons that would include people responsible for crimes against humanity.
The church is asking for the pardons as part of the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Chile's independence on Sept. 18. The church proposes pardons for those older than 70, any with a terminal decease and women who are mothers.
The controversy centers on the inclusion of some convicted of committing crimes during the 1973-90 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. According to official statistics, 3,065 opponents of Pinochet's regime were killed and 1,200 more disappeared.
The Group of Families of Detainees and Missing People has asked President Sebastian Pinera not to pardon anyone accused of committing such crimes during Pinochet's dictatorship.

Agree! The Catholic church of Chile and the Vatican side with oppressors whether they be Pinochet or pedophile priests! This religion chooses sides against the victims and with the perpetrators of crimes against humanity.
