Colonia Dignidad Members Indicted

It's also been a bad week for Pinochet's and Manuel Contreras' old friends at Colonia Dignidad:

 

Two members of a secretive German colony in Chile were indicted on abuse allegations Wednesday in connection with the alleged torture of eight children.

Judge Jorge Zepeda accused German citizens Paul Schaefer, 83, and Gisela Gruhlke of giving electrical shocks and drugs to eight children in an effort to suppress their sexuality.

Colony leaders were accused here and abroad of human rights violations, including allowing their facilities to be used as a torture and execution center by the former dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.

Zepeda has led several raids of the colony's farm in a so far unsuccessful search for victims of the Pinochet dictatorship who disappeared after being arrested and taken there.
