José ''"Pepe"'' Zalaquett Daher is a Chilean lawyer, renowned for his work in the defence of human rights during the ''de facto'' regime that governed Chile under General Augusto Pinochet from 1973 to 1990. ==The coup d'état and the Pro Paz Committee== José Zalaquett graduated from the law school of the University of Chile in 1967. Following the coup d'état of 11 September 1973, he became involved with the Comité Pro Paz, an agency established by various Christian churches and members of the Jewish community on the initiative of Roman Catholic Cardenal Raúl Silva Henríquez. Serving as the director of its legal department from late 1973 until the committee was wound up in December 1975, his job was to direct and coordinate the efforts of internal and external lawyers in defending human rights. This entailed work in three broad areas: * Serving as counsel for defendants accused by the military courts ''(consejos de guerra)''. * Filing for constitutional relief and habeas corpus remedies ''(amparo)'' on behalf of detainees held by the military. * Attempting to conduct investigations into the whereabouts of detainees. On 15 November 1975, agents of the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) arrested José Zalaquett and took him to the Tres Álamos detention centre. He was released on 30 January 1976, arrested again on 5 April, and sent into exile on 12 April. He did not return to Chile until 1986. During his years abroad, he served as the head of the international executive committee of Amnesty International from 1979 to 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José Zalaquett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
