Chilean cardinal conditions clemency for dictatorship-era human rights violators on repentance and disclosure

Archbishop of Santiago Fernando Chomali stated that any pardon for those convicted of human rights violations under the Pinochet dictatorship should require repentance, forgiveness, and information on the disappeared. This is a moral stance, not a policy change, but it enters an ongoing national debate over transitional justice. The position is notable as a senior Church figure linking clemency to accountability.
