Chile court orders Gendarmería to relax visit rules for 93 human rights convicts

Santiago's Court of Appeals ruled against Gendarmería, ordering a relaxation of visitation rules for 93 convicts of crimes against humanity at Colina I prison, allowing more than ten registered support-network members while keeping a five-visitor daily cap. This follows a February ruling and extends the same flexibility to 200 inmates in the Pabellón Asistir. The decision is a judicial setback for the prison service, potentially signaling a broader trend in judicial oversight of detention conditions.
