On October 16, 1973, Jorge Osorio and Hipólito Cortés were executed along with 13 other individuals at the Arica Military Regiment base, “as ordered by military courts in time of war.” The executions were carried out by State agents without due process of law and the bodies were buried in a mass grave in La Serena cemetery.40 51.

In 1998, the remains of Mr. Osorio were exhumed and identified; the findings showed that he had been tortured prior to his extrajudicial execution.42 This victim is not included in the list of persons recognized as victims by the Valech Commission report.43 The court considered that “the deed on which the claim for damages was based occurred on a given date in 1973, and between then and the date of notification of the claim in the instant case, far more time had elapsed than five years for the prescription of the case that the Court has deemed applicable in this case.” Cf.
