translated from Spanish: Christian Labbé was sentenced to three years in jail for torture

The former mayor of Providence, Cristián Labbé, was sentenced to three years’ effective phasion for the crime of unlawful inmates.
In addition, the judgment included the suspension of public charges or offices during the duration of the sentence.
The law condoned the Fisco of Chile on the same case to pay the victim 30 million pesos for moral damage.
The event affected Harry Cohen Vera and was committed in November 1973 in Panguipulli, Los Lagos.
Labbé was not granted any alternative benefit to the enforcement of the sentence and will be served as a credit memo on the days he remained on remand between April 18 and May 15, 2017 and, under full house arrest, between 15 May 2017 and 6 June 2017 2017.
“In the months of October to November 1973 the army campaigned by Brigadier General Nilo Floody Buxton, took control of the city of Panguipulli, carrying out an intense military operation which was described by the press of the time as the so-called ‘ operation comb’, which was carried out in the mountainous area between Concepción and Valdivia, and whose objective was the capture of people opposed to the military regime”, the investigation of the case revealed.
The case added that “Harry Edwards Cohen Vera, 26, 26-year-old student of the “Electronics” career of the New World Professional Institute of the city of Santiago, on November 06, 1973 traveled to the town of Futrono,” where he was arrested the next day by a gru indeterminate black berets that burst into place.
After being transferred to a place of detention, a “lieutenant of the time named Cristian Labbé Galilea, heavily armed and in camouflage clothing who under impropers orders him to lower his sight, at the same moment he threatens him, with a white gun (corvo) , that would cut his throat. That in later form and by the jailer of the place he learns the identity of this officer, who points out the surname and declares that he was the son of a military connotated'”.
“After two days of the preceding episode, the victim was removed from his cell blindfolded and wearing a hooded sack over his head, tied his feet and hands, being transported in a truck to a place that he could apparently correspond to a cellar. That in these circumstances he was hung with his hands tied behind his back, allowing him to lean only with the tip of his fingers to the ground. That at that time he is questioned by three military personnel, in respect of whom he was able to identify the voice of that burly officer described in the preceding point, who in burlesque form repeatedly made scopes to his Semitic origin. In this interrogation they connected electrodes on his ankle and wrists, which systematically produced increasingly intense electric shocks, at the same time that he was interrogated,” the investigation said.
