With this chapter, the National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture aims to describe a basic framework for better understanding of verified political repression during the military regime, considering that it took place, gained momentum and could be extended due to a number of factors of social, political, institutional, legal and cultural. It is not intended to provide a complete picture and detailed history of the regime installed by the military junta of government since the September 11, 1973. Neither seeks to ascertain the relative weight of the various factors which contributed to the breakdown of democracy in Chile, after a period of intense national and international political polarization
and strong social mobilization, or to decide on the responsibilities of each actor and social policy in the incubation and precipitation of the crisis. The knowledge of the process that led to the September 11, 1973, can not justify the massive violation of human rights post. In accordance with the specific mandate of this Commission, did not seem necessary to refer to the previous period, and repeat the historical frame work of human rights violations between 1973 and 1990, conducted over a decade by the National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation. Specifically, this chapter seeks to explain the context of political repression, with particular reference to
political imprisonment and torture.
