Thousands joined the cortege to rebury singer and filmmaker Victor Jara in Santiago, Chile Saturday 5 December, 36 years after his wife had to hastily bury him and flee the country. He was tortured and shot one week after Augusto Pinochet came to power in a coup against Salvatore Allende, in 1973. His murderers have never been named.
