The former director of the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH), Sergio Micco, referred to his boisterous departure from the institution last Monday, July 18.
“Having regained my freedom of speech, I will proceed to use it with all the force I have, following Lessing’s dictation: ‘Let each one affirm his truth, and the Truth be reserved to God,'” he said.

“The State of Chile is not fulfilling, to this day, its duties to give itself the means to investigate, judge and punish human rights violations. For this reason, the INDH Directorate has said that we are closer to impunity than to truth and justice,” he added.

In the same vein, he denounced that “to this day no one has verified that in Chile the State organized and executed a massive attack on the civilian population, agreeing to impunity. There is no international human rights report to the contrary, nor is the NHRI.”

He also accused that “on November 3, 2019, I was forced to say that I did not believe there were systematic violations, because I was falsely credited with having said the opposite and such a lie spread in Chile and Europe.”

On the other hand, Micco revealed that “the INDH Council was pressured by 60-day strikes and a 180-day takeover to declare that there were political prisoners (prisoners of conscience) in Chile. I refused to sell my conscience and destroy the autonomy of the institute and said that in Chile there were none.”

“To the question of those who tried to violate the autonomy of the INDH I answer that they simply look on social networks which political parties and social organizations supported the takeover of the INDH by an organization of former secondary schools,” he added.
