Washington, DC – On Friday, March 11, 2005, at 9:30 a.m., the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will hear arguments in the case of Schneider v. Kissinger. The case was brought by the sons of Chilean General René Schneider, who was killed in 1970 because he opposed the violent coup that brought Pinochet to power. The complaint, based on declassified government documents, alleges that National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger secretly conspired with right-wing military officials in Chile to kill General Schneider. Dr. Kissinger worked closely with the co-conspirators and sent them money and arms.
A year ago, a lower court dismissed the case, granting Dr. Kissinger immunity for his actions. D.C. law students will argue the appeal on behalf of the Schneider family.
