Chile Justice Minister: No Decision Yet on Pardon for Terminal Cancer Inmate

Chile's Justice Minister Fernando Rabat stated no decision has been made on a potential humanitarian pardon for Aliste Vega, a former leftist convicted for the 2007 killing of Carabineros Corporal Luis Moyano. Ruling-party voices have floated the idea due to Vega's terminal cancer, but the government has not committed. The case pits humanitarian considerations against police-community tensions, and any decision will carry political weight.
