Women in Chile, Uruguay create quilt to mark 50 years since coups | Video

Santiago de Chile, Jun 25 (EFE).- During the 1973-1990 Pinochet dictatorship, Chilean women whose fathers, sons, and brothers disappeared at the hands of the secret police knit colorful quilts backed with burlap, known as arpilleras, to tell their stories.

This year, as Chile and Uruguay observe the 50th anniversaries of the coups that installed repressive military regimes, women on both sides of the Andes are collaborating on a giant arpillera to mark the occasion. (Camera: RODRIGO SAEZ).
