Pinochet stripped of immunity, will stand trial


ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTIAGO — The Supreme Court stripped former dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet of immunity from prosecution today, allowing him to stand trial in a human rights case involving the killing of 119 dissidents.

Chief Justice Jose Benquis said the court voted 10-6 to strip the 89-year-old former ruler of the immunity from prosecution he has as former president.

The ruling, which cannot be appealed, relates to a case known as Operation Colombo, and involves the 1975 killing of 119 dissidents, whose bodies were found in neighbouring Argentina.
