			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">Luis Sepúlveda, lemondediplomatique, 06.02.2013</span><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;&#8230;.. </span>Como medio mundo sabe España es uno de los destinos turísticos preferidos, y aunque estemos en invierno el paisaje de terrazas con sangría, chorizo, procesiones, chorizo, sol, chorizo, una cloaca mediterránea, chorizo, gente simpática, chorizo, y alegría contagiosa al ritmo de palmitas se mantiene inalterable.<span id="more-6676"></span></strong></p>
<p>Y aunque las temperaturas son, según los termómetros, bajas en esta época del año, el ambiente está bastante caldeado, tal vez para que los chorizos se conserven de manera ideal. El turista notará de inmediato que España es el primer productor mundial de chorizos, y que en este rubro productivo se omite la participación del cerdo, nobles animales que no merecen ninguna comparación con la materia prima de la que están hechas los chorizos españoles.</p>
<p>Notoria es la variedad “Chorizo Royal” con denominación de origen en la Casa Real y cuyo gran exponente es el yerno del rey, Iñaqui Undargarín, un sujeto sin profesión conocida, salvo la de chorizo, que al amparo de la monarquía creó junto a su abnegada esposa e Infanta de España, una organización filantrópica sin fines de lucro, recibió varios millones de euros del erario público y, por esas cosas de la vida totalmente ajenas a su voluntad, aparecieron desviados a cuentas en bancos suizos y empresas inexistentes que, de pura casualidad, aparecían a nombre suyo y de la Infanta.</p>
<p>Estas casualidades ofuscaron bastante a los habitantes del simpático y acogedor país que ostenta los títulos de campeones mundiales de fútbol, campeones de Europa del mismo deporte, y campeones olímpicos en recortes sociales, en recortes de educación, de salud, de investigación científica y paraíso del despido libre y gratuito. Casi seis millones de españoles en paro pueden hoy dedicar su tiempo a la contemplación de las bellezas naturales, y 52 de cada cien jóvenes menores de 30 años disponen de todo el tiempo libres imaginable gracias a la política laboral de un gobierno que, dotado de una mayoría absoluta, aumenta cada día la monstruosa cifra de personas que descienden monte abajo, desde la clase media a la pobreza y de ahí a la miseria.</p>
<p>Hace unos pocos días, un periódico español publicó una noticia inquietante: desde hace muchos años los dirigentes del Partido Popular, heredero directo del franquismo y hoy en el gobierno, cobraban unos extras en dinero negro, y que eran repartidos generosamente por un hombre de honor a toda prueba, un genuino caballero español llamado Luis Bárcenas, ex tesorero del Partido Popular, ex senador, e imputado por una posible financiación ilegal del partido. Unos días más tarde, otro periódico publicó varias hojas de un cuaderno de contable, en las que aparecen meridianamente detallados los pagos extra a los honorables dirigentes, entre los que hay ex ministros, ex secretarios generales, y el actual presidente del gobierno, don Mariano Rajoy. Con estas noticias nació otra variedad de chorizo; el Chorizo de Mierda.</p>
<p>Don Mariano Rajoy, perdedor de dos elecciones, para ganar votos propuso que los extranjeros que viven en España suscribieran un contrato por el que se comprometían a respetar y seguir las costumbres españolas, pero sin indicar cuáles. No estaba claro si los marroquíes, ecuatorianos, japoneses, alemanes o británicos residentes en España debían, merced a ese contrato, sumarse con algarabía a la rancia costumbre de matar a puñaladas un toro en Tordesillas, o a lanzar cabras vivas desde algún campanario antes de entregarse con frenesí a la danza del pasodoble “suspiros de España”. Lo que sí quedó claro, es que don Mariano Rajoy es un seguidor fiel de algunas tradiciones taurinas, sobre todo le entusiasma la figura de Don Tancredo, un sujeto que, en alguna corrida, descubrió que permaneciendo quieto, muy quieto, en silencio, muy en silencio, ningún toro se fijaría en él y no sufriría el menor contratiempo.</p>
<p>La figura de Don Tancredo se convirtió en el estilo de gobierno de Rajoy, y para no arriesgarse a un percance en sus escasas intervenciones en el parlamento, o ante la prensa, decidió que el eufemismo era, o debía ser, una de las costumbres más caras de España.</p>
<p>El turista que visite este encantador país tendrá que comprar un diccionario de la Nueva Lengua Española, pues sólo así podrá entender que el acto de entregar 100 mil millones de euros a la banca privada, con cargo a los presupuestos del Estado, y que se paga reduciendo a mínimos los gastos en salud, educación, servicios sociales y todo aquello que es propio de un país civilizado, se llama “recapitalización del sistema financiero”. Al despido casi gratuito y sustentado en la perspectiva de reducción de beneficios se le llama “reforma laboral o flexibilidad del trabajo”. A la privatización de los hospitales públicos se le llama “externalización”, y se llama “reforma de la educación” al regreso de los crucifijos a las aulas, al remplazo de la asignatura de educación para la ciudadanía por clases de religión católica. El turista que visite este simpático país, encontrará que todos los días, a todas horas, multitudes de españoles y españolas llenan las calles portando tijeras de cartón, letreros que dice “no hay pan para tanto chorizo”, lo que evidencia que este es el país de la fiesta y la alegría infinita ofrecido en los catálogos de turismo.</p>
<p>Y encontrará costumbres extrañas, por ejemplo, entre los miles que hurgan en los contenedores de basura buscando algo que echarse a la boca, verá algunos –pocos por ahora, pero en aumento- que se aplastan ellos mismos los dedos con las tapas de los contenedores al tiempo que declaman: yo fui uno de los gilipollas que dio mayoría absoluta a estos chorizos de mierda.</p>
<p>Para facilitar la comprensión del turista me permito indicar que, en ningún caso, el gobierno quiso restar legitimidad y competitividad al Chorizo de Mierda. Las aseveraciones de doña María Dolores de Cospedal, secretaria general del Partido Popular y presidenta de Castilla-La Mancha, con sus repetidos “no me consta” cuando alguien le hablaba de la irrupción pública del Chorizo de Mierda, lema que fue repetido como un mantra por toda la cúpula del Partido Popular, deben ser tomadas como una simpática frase folclórica. Sabido es que la señora Cospedal adora vestirse de lagarterana cuando asiste a las procesiones, y suele decir “no me consta” con la misma naturalidad con que dice ¡vivaspaña!, ¡ole la madre que me parió! o ¡guapa! al paso de un monigote de escayola con aspecto de mujer sufriente.</p>
<p>Tampoco el turista debe sentirse confundido al leer que don Mariano Rajoy, en Alemania, al ser consultado por la lista de chorizos de mierda que aparecen en el libro de contabilidad “b” de Luis Bárcenas, dijera: “nada es cierto, salvo alguna cosa”.</p>
<p>Dicen las lenguas viperinas que al señor Rajoy, durante su visita a Chile, se le contagió la desconcertante locuacidad de Sebastián Piñera. Puede ser, pero lo más probable es que ese “nada es cierto, salvo una cosa” obedece más bien a su afán de decir algo, sino trascendente al menos de cierto interés, alguna vez en su vida.</p>
<p>Y la frase ha tenido éxito. Tanto, que hasta la Conferencia Episcopal empieza a preocuparse ante el surgimiento de evangelios apócrifos, que el la parte donde dios le dice a Caín: “me han dicho que primero mataste a un pobre burro, y que empleaste una de sus quijadas para matar a tu hermano Abel”, el pérfido Caín responde: nada es cierto, salvo alguna cosa.</p>
<p>Hoy, cientos de miles de estudiantes salieron a las calles en una huelga masiva que paralizó el 92 % de la actividad escolar, pidiendo la derogación de la nueva ley de educación, y la dimisión del ministro del ramo. Según el gobierno, solamente el 12% del alumnado secundó la huelga. La respuesta de los estudiantes es: nada es cierto, salvo alguna cosa.</p>
<p>Turistas del mundo, bienvenidos a España, el país del chorizo, el país de los indultos garantizados a los defraudadores y a los policías que torturan hasta frente a las cámaras de seguridad de las comisarías, el país del no me consta, al país cabreado, tan cabreado, que está a punto de arder y no habrá bomberos que apaguen el fuego de la más justa de las iras.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A New Multimedia Community-Contributed and Community-Driven Online Resource </strong></p>
<p><strong>The project aims to stimulate debate and research on women and Independence in Latin America by building on public interest in women&#8217;s involvement in the Independence Wars, triggered by the bicentenaries, and women&#8217;s unprecedented presence in Latin American politics today.</strong><span id="more-6608"></span></p>
<p>The project has recently been granted further support from Arts &amp; Humanities Research Council AHRC. As a result of this it is in the process of transforming this website into a dynamic, interactive community-contributed and community-driven resource which will allow participants to exchange ideas and information about the Independence struggles and their contemporary relevance.</p>
<p>It aims to stimulate debate and knowledge transfer regarding the significance of these events – and of the ideas and aspirations which they represent &#8211; to the lives of Latin American women today. The project is hosted by the Department of Hispanic and Latin American Studies at the University of Nottingham in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Link to the project:</span> <a href="http://www.genderlatam.org.uk/genderlatam/index.aspx">HERE </a></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> .</span></p>
<p><strong>Un nuevo recurso digital impulsado y contribuido por la comunidad</strong></p>
<p>La meta de este proyecto es estimular el debate y la investigación sobre las mujeres y la Independencia en América Latina. El proyecto se construye sobre una base de interés público en el papel de las mujeres en las guerras de Independencia generado por los aniversarios bicentenarios y por la presencia sin precedentes de las mujeres en la esfera política latinoamericana hoy en día.</p>
<p>La iniciativa empezó como un proyecto de cinco años subvencionada por el AHRC (2001-2006), el cual tenía la meta de repensar la Independencia Latinoamericana en términos de género. Ahora, después de recibir otra subvención del AHRC, estamos transformando este sitio web en un recurso dinámico e interactivo, el cual será impulsado por la comunidad. Los contribuidores intercambiarán  ideas e información sobre las luchas independentistas y su relevancia contemporánea. Nuestro objetivo es estimular el debate y la transferencia de conocimientos sobre el significado de estos acontecimientos (y sobre  las ideas y aspiraciones que representan) en las vidas de las mujeres latinoamericanas de hoy. Ideado y coordinado por el departamento de estudios hispanos y latinoamericanos de la universidad de Nottingham, en colaboración con la universidad de Edimburgo.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text/html' width='425' height='355' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/oXlrtYZG1p4?rel=0&amp;fs=1' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Estoy muy feliz por lo que simboliza el premio ya que lleva el nombre de un maestro del cine y además porque la competencia era muy fuerte&#8221;, señaló el director de la cinta Fernando Guzzoni.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-6568"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Un hombre no puede hacer frente a los hechos de su pasado y experimenta un intenso sufrimiento diario. Un rendimiento excepcional constituye la tarea en un relato de varias capas de redención, ejecutado con completo control artístico&#8221;, expresó el jurado integrado por Jannike Åhlund, Maxine Williamson y Volker Schlöndorff.</p>
<p>Fernando Guzzoni previamente ganó el Tercer Premio Coral a Mejor Opera Prima en el 34º Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano de La Habana, Cuba. Además, también ganó en el Festival de Cine de San Sebastián el Premio Kutxa Nuevos-Directores correspondiente en la sección &#8220;Nuevos Directores&#8221;; y en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Valdivia, la película ganó el premio Premio Moviecity.</p>
<p>LA PELÍCULA</p>
<p>&#8220;Carne de Perro&#8221; aborda un período complejo en la vida de Alejandro (55), un solitario, frágil e impredecible hombre, atormentado por la hostilidad de su misterioso pasado. Es la historia de un hombre que busca una nueva identidad, pero que se pierde entre sus propios fantasmas y obsesiones: un hombre que comienza peligrosamente a desentrañar y cuya percepción de la realidad está distorsionada. &#8220;Carne de perro&#8221; cuenta la historia, en 2010, de una de los torturadores de la dictadura de Pinochet en su intento por redefinir y darle sentido a su existencia.</p>
<p>Con las actuaciones de Alejandro Goic, Amparo Noguera, Maria Gracia Omegna, Alfredo Castro, Sergio Hernández, Cristián Carvajal, Daniel Alcaíno, Roberto Farías, Manuela Oyarzún, Jesús Briceño.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>

<p>It explores the final days of the Pinochet regime through the eyes of two competing television companies canvassing for the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigns respectively in the crucial referendum that toppled the dictator.</p>
<p>Mexican superstar Bernal delivers a riveting central performance as cynical ad man René caught up in a dangerous world of propaganda and political violence, while a dryly funny script lends a suitably satirical mood to proceedings. A riveting dramatisation of a crucial moment in South American history and the deserving winner of Director’s Fortnight, Cannes 2012.</p>

<p><strong>For almost forty years, since the military coup in Chile and the brutal murder of OUR dream of building a society based on social justice, I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world and to find Victor’s songs being sung and, above all, the values inherent in them being shared and celebrated by so many and such diverse groups of people that I could, in spite of everything, in the darkest days of the dictatorship, hold on to hope for the future.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-6184"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Many years later, at a time when the people of Chile no longer needed international solidarity, I heard of your new cultural festival in a beautiful place in far off Wales which maintained the memory of Victor and all he stood for at the heart of it. Never actually being able to be present, from afar I saw how it grew and developed over the years, fulfilling an ever greater need of people to come together to affirm their values and their cultural identity through song, poetry dance and music.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Earlier this year I was amazed that the Festival El Sueño Existe was capable of being present in London and it was very moving for me to see the vitality and commitment of the artists taking part.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I send my very best wishes to all of you, confident that you will not only dream, but work together for a better world. The new generations deserve that inheritance.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Un abrazo fraternal a cada uno de Uds.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://s1.chilescda.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/na40fo011.jpg" rel="lightbox[6178]" title="na40fo01"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6182" title="na40fo01" src="http://s3.chilescda.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/na40fo011-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" /></a>Por Mempo Giardinelli pagina12, 24.10.12</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Escribo este texto desde la admiración y el afecto que sentí toda mi vida por la obra de Mario Vargas Llosa. Lo he leído con fervor de aprendiz, he sentido su amistad en algunas ocasiones y aunque estuve y estoy en desacuerdo con casi todas sus posiciones políticas, siempre lo defendí de ataques e incomprensiones. Es un escritor excepcional, un maestro de la lengua.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-6178"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Y por eso mismo siento que lo persigue un equívoco, igual que a muchos de sus admiradores en el mundo: la constante y creciente idea de que nuestra lengua es el español. Que no lo es.</p>
<p>Hace unos días él fue galardonado en México con el Premio Carlos Fuentes, al que otros aspiramos con inmodestia, y las declaraciones de jurados y comentaristas en diversos medios de lo que bien puede llamarse el establishment periodístico internacional subrayan “la contribución que desde el español ha hecho para el enriquecimiento del patrimonio de la humanidad”, como dijo el director de la Real Academia Española, José Manuel Blecua.</p>
<p>El mismo Vargas Llosa se manifestó “muy agradecido y conmovido” porque si bien no esperaba más premios después del Nobel, este galardón es un nuevo, enorme reconocimiento a la figura inolvidable de Carlos Fuentes, uno de los más exquisitos escritores que dio nuestra lengua.</p>
<p>Claro que entonces la pregunta que surge es de cuál lengua. Y si el propio Don Mario celebra al “idioma español” porque “ha dado una literatura creativa, novedosa, que es traducida y conocida en otros mundos lingüísticos”, entonces cabe la discrepancia.</p>
<p>Que me disculpen, pero no dejaré de insistir que en nuestra América nosotros no hablamos “español” sino “castellano americano”, el mismo que prefiguró Andrés Bello hace 200 años. Y acerca del cual el año pasado publiqué en estas mismas páginas, y a propósito de la inauguración del Museo de la Lengua en la Biblioteca Nacional, un artículo titulado “La lengua que hablamos”.</p>
<p>La cuestión no es baladí. Hay una profunda diferencia ideológica en el asunto, que hiede a neocolonización. Porque no se trata de discutir si es –como en efecto es– el segundo idioma más estudiado en el mundo después del inglés y el tercero más usado en Internet. No, la cuestión es que llamar aquí a nuestra lengua “español” es una forma contemporánea de cambiar el significado del idioma que nos une y nos expresa. Y digo contemporánea porque desde siempre, por generaciones, el nombre de nuestra lengua para hablar, leer y escribir, o sea el nombre del idioma de nuestra literatura –Bello dixit– fue castellano: “Se llama lengua castellana (y con menos propiedad española) la que se habla en Castilla y que con las armas y las leyes pasó a América, y es hoy el idioma común de los Estados hispanoamericanos”.</p>
<p>Fue por razones políticas y económicas muy recientes que España inició una sutil reconquista cultural americana. Desde hace unos veinte años, lenta y machaconamente, se nos fue imponiendo el nuevo nombre de nuestro idioma. El avance de empresas como Telefónica y otras en América, en los ’90, más la creación del Instituto Cervantes como avanzada política cultural de España en el mundo –lo cual para mí es incuestionable; no es eso lo que discuto–, estuvo al servicio de erosionar el prestigio del vocablo “castellano”. Y, además, ayudó en esa tarea la fácil traducción del gentilicio a las lenguas de los países desarrollados de Europa.</p>
<p>Desde luego que a esa reconquista de América también la facilitó la transnacionalización de las grandes casas editoriales argentinas, compradas casi todas por poderosos holdings españoles. Lo cual tampoco es cuestionable en sí mismo, quede claro. Pero sucedió, y hoy es inevitable ver que el desplazamiento de la identidad de nuestra lengua, a la par de la brutal crisis económica, social y cultural que vivimos hace una década, contribuyó a esa estrategia no inocente.</p>
<p>El castellano americano que hemos hablado por generaciones recogió tradiciones y fortaleció identidades en toda nuestra América. Esa lengua, de raíz castiza pero enriquecida con cocoliches, dialectos y el uso peculiar de millones de extranjeros, creó finalmente una cultura que se desarrolló y definió con un idioma común: el castellano de nuestra América. Rioplatense, andino, caribeño, pero castellano.</p>
<p>Así se escribió y así es leída la riquísima literatura latinoamericana. La que llegó a ser universalmente apreciada gracias a Borges, Neruda, Rulfo y Carpentier, entre muchos otros, y también gracias a Fuentes y Vargas Llosa, pero como producto del castellano americano y no como literatura en español.</p>

<div><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>by Kate Clark</strong></span></div>
<div>
<p><a href="http://s4.chilescda.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/JoanJara.jpg" rel="lightbox[6105]" title="Chilean folk singer Victor Jara would have been 80 tomorrow."><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6106" title="JoanJara" src="http://s4.chilescda.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/JoanJara.jpg" alt="" width="279" height="181" /></a><strong>Chilean folk singer Victor Jara would have been 80 tomorrow.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But five days after the brutal 1973 military coup that crushed Chile&#8217;s  democracy and killed the country&#8217;s constitutional president Salvador  Allende, Chile&#8217;s most committed and much-loved singer-songwriter was  silenced forever in the Chile Stadium.</strong></p>
<p><strong>On September 11 1973 Victor left his home, his English wife Joan and his  two young daughters to go to his workplace, the Technical University. The next time Joan saw him was in the morgue &#8211; his hands broken by rifle butts and with 44 bullets in his body.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-6105"></span></p>
<p>I met Joan on a sunny Santiago day last April outside the Victor Jara  Foundation she set up to honour his memory and keep his life&#8217;s work in  song and theatre alive.</p>
<p>Now in her early eighties, though still graceful and agile like the  dancer she was, Joan tells me of her frustration that despite all the  investigations into Victor&#8217;s death no-one has ever been brought to  justice for it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel angry,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Victor lived only half of what could have been his life. How many songs  could he have composed, how many more plays could he have directed if  he had lived?</p>
<p>&#8220;He could have seen his much-loved daughters grow up and could have been by my side for the rest of our lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why the ferocity of the coup which killed Victor and many thousands of others?</p>
<p>When Dr Allende, a socialist, was elected president in September 1970 US  secretary of state Henry Kissinger remarked: &#8220;I don&#8217;t see why we need  to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility  of its people.&#8221;</p>
<p>What followed over the next three years with the collusion of the US was  organised sabotage, hoarding of foods and goods to provoke artificial  shortages, and the creation of the fascist terrorist organisation Patria  y Libertad.</p>
<p>They also saw a media onslaught against the progressive government whose  Popular Unity programme was aimed at improving the lives of workers and  peasants by nationalising Chile&#8217;s biggest resource &#8211; copper &#8211; and  introducing land reform to curb the power of the &#8220;latifundistas,&#8221; the  big landowners.</p>
<p>Victor had used his immense talents in support of the popular  government. He sang to massive crowds in Santiago and other cities and  he wrote songs urging people to take a stand, not sit on the fence, and  fight for their government.</p>
<p>He was hugely popular among the young and among the millions who backed  the government&#8217;s aim of closing the gap between rich and poor.</p>
<p>It was that aim that led reactionary forces in Chile and the US, which  had always seen Latin America as its backyard, to decide to snuff out  the Allende government in the brutal coup.</p>
<p>And it was Victor&#8217;s support for it that led the soldiers to break the  bones in his hands and then mockingly demand that he play his guitar.</p>
<p>Between 40-50,000 people were held in stadiums, concentration camps and  prisons in the months and years that followed, and around 1,500 people  were &#8220;disappeared&#8221; between 1973 and 1990. Another 30,000 were sent into  exile.</p>
<p>Joan has campaigned tirelessly for justice for her husband since his  death. But even after Victor&#8217;s body was exhumed in 2009 on the orders of  the judge investigating his case no-one has been tried for it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many killers and torturers freely walk the streets,&#8221; she tells me.  &#8220;They are approaching death now, after living their lives in peace,  bringing up their children and grandchildren. They&#8217;ve never expressed  remorse for the suffering they caused so many families.&#8221;</p>
<p>Leading human rights lawyer Eduardo Contreras, who back in January 1998  was the first to bring a lawsuit against General Augusto Pinochet, who  led the 1973 coup, explains why justice has not been done, not only for  Victor but for many thousands of other victims of the dictatorship.</p>
<p>&#8220;The slow pace of these legal cases is due in large measure to the total  refusal of the armed forces to co-operate with the investigations,&#8221;  Contreras says.</p>
<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s also due to Chile&#8217;s old-fashioned and long-drawn-out legal system.</p>
<p>&#8220;At present 1,500 criminal lawsuits are pending. The vast majority of  these are cases brought by the Group of Relatives of Executed Political  Prisoners (AFEP) since 2010, and they include the cases of president  Allende himself and his defence minister General Bachelet who died after  torture in March 1974 after refusing to back the military coup.</p>
<p>&#8220;About 250 of the dictatorship&#8217;s criminal perpetrators have been tried  and there are 69 in prison, mostly condemned to life imprisonment,  including the top ranks of the dreaded DINA &#8211; the secret investigations  arm of the dictatorship.&#8221;</p>
<p>More cases are in the pipeline. As for Victor&#8217;s case, the trial is ongoing but proceeding very slowly.</p>
<p>Two soldiers have been identified as his killers but it has so far  proved impossible to identify who in the higher echelons gave the order  to kill him.</p>
<p>The courageous lawyers pursuing lawsuits have come under all sorts of threats and even attempts on their lives.</p>
<p>In July 2000 Contreras and his wife Rebeca were returning by car to  Santiago on their usual route when someone by the side of the road  signalled for help.</p>
<p>They stopped to offer assistance and a huge lorry suddenly came at their  car at speed from the opposite direction. It crashed into the vehicle  and severely injured Rebeca, who, unusually, had been driving.</p>
<p>Contreras is sure it was a deliberate attempt on his life as it happened  on the eve of a high-profile legal victory against Pinochet in the  courts.</p>
<p>The fight for justice goes on and is part of today&#8217;s social and political struggle in Chile.</p>
<p>&#8220;The dictatorship has not been totally defeated,&#8221; Contreras says. &#8220;But  much of the truth has come out and some justice has been done.</p>
<p>&#8220;General Pinochet was detained and put under house arrest for several  months and although he died before he could be sent to prison he was  condemned in the eyes of the world as a criminal.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have 1,300 lawsuits ongoing which I and other lawyers, working  voluntarily, are pursuing and we are sure that we shall achieve more  justice in the coming months and years.</p>
<p>&#8220;We also aim to try those civilians who were responsible for crimes  against our people, like the owners of the media who together with DINA  cooked up stories to justify their crimes.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s still a lot to do.&#8221;</p>

<h5>Two Cubans are exhibiting their art in Britain – despite being imprisoned in the US – in a groundbreaking new show</h5>
<p><strong>Two of the artists featured in a new exhibition will definitely not be present on the opening <em>night. Instead of mingling with fellow artists in London&#8217;s West End, they will each be</em> spending the time in a high-security cell in a penitentiary in the US.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The pair, Antonio Guerrero and Gerardo Hernández, are members of the so-called Miami Five, who were <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/06/usa.cuba">jailed in the US in 2001</a> at the conclusion of a controversial trial. The five were Cubans who had infiltrated militant anti-Castro exile groups in Florida that were suspected of carrying out sabotage attacks aimed at destabilising <a title="More from guardian.co.uk on Cuba" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/cuba">Cuba</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The men were sentenced in Miami to terms varying from 15 years to &#8220;double life&#8221; on the grounds that they were acting in the US as agents of a foreign power. Their defence was that they were seeking to disrupt terrorist attacks which, the Cuban government claims, have caused hundreds of deaths, most recently in a 90s bombing campaign in Havana hotels and clubs aimed at derailing the booming holiday industry.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-5567"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Lawyers for the five <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/15/supreme-court-decision-cuban-five">argued unsuccessfully</a> that a fair trial in the toxic anti-Castro atmosphere of Miami was impossible. In 2011, one of the five, René González, was released and remains on parole in Florida.</p>
<p>The art exhibition, entitled <a href="http://www.cubabeyondtheframe.com/Site/Home.html">Beyond the Frame</a>, which moves to Glasgow in May, will show the work of 26 of the best-known Cuban artists and of 20 other international artists who have donated work to draw attention to the case. It is the largest collection of Cuban artists ever to be shown in the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;The art itself is very surprising,&#8221; says Dodie Weppler, an expert on Cuban art who is co-ordinating the exhibition. &#8220;There&#8217;s no socialist realism, it&#8217;s all things you might not expect. Culture has always been a vital element in Cuba&#8217;s radical tradition, but the revolution made possible a cultural experiment on a scale never before seen in the <a title="More from guardian.co.uk on Americas" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/americas">Americas</a>.&#8221; A number of artists being exhibited – &#8220;<a href="http://www.medaid.org/www/art/artists/kcho/works.html">Kcho</a>&#8220;, <a href="http://www.mendiveart.com/?lg=1">Manuel Mendive</a>, &#8220;<a href="http://www.promo-arte.com/eng/artists/10eduardo_roca.html">Choco</a>&#8220;, <a href="http://www.josefuster.com/fuster/">José Fuster</a>, <a href="http://www.havana-cultura.com/en/nl/visual-art/juan-roberto-diago-durruthy/cuban-art">Juan Roberto Diago</a> – already have international reputations.</p>
<p>Antonio Guerrero learned to draw and paint while in jail in Florence, Colorado, as the pupil of a cellmate, an African-American artist. He works in watercolours, charcoal, oil and pastel, his latest subjects being exotic birds and butterflies, and has written that, through art, &#8220;I have overcome imprisonment.&#8221; Hernández was an amateur cartoonist before his arrest; cartooning remains his speciality.</p>
<p>Art was originally seen as a key part of the Cuban revolution. There are still 14 art schools on the island and a university of the fine arts in Havana. According to Rene Duquesne of Cuba&#8217;s National Council of Visual Arts, there are 13,000 &#8220;registered artists&#8221; there. &#8220;With this number, there are simply not enough galleries or materials – most of the materials have to be imported,&#8221; he says. &#8220;The blockade causes enormous difficulties. Artists who don&#8217;t have a salary – who aren&#8217;t book designers, art teachers or other related jobs – have to rely on the sales of their work. This forces Cuban artists to look abroad.&#8221;</p>
