President Allende's Secretary Elba Vergara Eyewitness To Torture

[Rakhmetov]

"Four men came in, bearing a cot with a sheet-covered figure. "Sit down," one ordered. "You're going to see a performance by a bad actor, an actor who has forgotten his part. Help him remember it." They uncovered a body entirely purple, missing a foot. "Come closer," another ordered. "Look at him. You'll know him." And she did. It was 27-year-old "El Gordo" Toledo, with whom she had been 20 days before. He could hardly speak, or scream, any more. When Elba maintained that she did not know him, they said, "Let's see"-they pulled out his nails, cut off his remaining ear, cut out his tongue, gouged out his eyes, and killed him slowly as she watched, thinking, "He could be my son." Then they brought another "actor," 26-year-old Eduard Munoz. It took them five hours to kill him, under her eyes. It was worse than any pain they could have inflicted on her, she said. Later she was forced to watch while her cellmates-aged 16, 17, and 40, nude and drugged, were directed to perform an erotic dance before they were raped. Another girl, back from a dreaded torture center, and pregnant, was so crazy that each time she awoke she screamed that her only desire was for her child to be born so she could kill it."

Another selection from Parenti's book


Instead of being tortured, which was the usual procedure, they were
brought to a hospital where they were subjected to plastic surgery:


One of the women had her mouth taken away from her. The other lost
half her nose. And they were released after several days with the
gentle suggestion that they be sure to visit their comrades to show
off their "cures." They had been turned into walking advertisements of
terror; agents of demoralization and intimidation…In the case of the
woman whose mouth had been shut, the most sophisticated techniques of
plastic surgery had been employed. Great care had been taken by her
medical torturers to obliterate her lips forever, using cuts and
stitches and folds that would frustrate even the best reconstructive
techniques. [Luis, a Cuban plastic surgeon] even thought he could
detect a "U.S." hand in the macabre handiwork, or that of a Brazilian
schooled in the United States. A small hole had been left in the face
to allow the woman to take liquids through a straw and survive…

When Luis and the medical team reopened the hole where her mouth
had been, the sight was far more sickening than they had expected: All
of the teeth had been removed and two dog fangs---incisors-had been
inserted in their place. A little surprise from the fascist madmen…

The other woman had half her nose removed, skin, cartilage, and
all. A draining, raw, and frightening wound was her "treatment," the
sign she was to carry around with her to warn people that rebellion
was a "disease" and torture the "cure."
