Abstract
The mission of the International Committee of the Red Cross to Chile, composed of six delegates including one doctor, pursued its visits in October to places of detention in that country. The ICRC delegates made several visits to the National Stadium in Santiago and also to Valparaiso. A first round of visits was made to the north and south of Chile, followed later by a further round of visits. Altogether, the ICRC delegates went to eighteen places of detention and saw more than ten thousand detainees. Everywhere they were able to talk with detainees of their choice, without witnesses.
