Cardinal Chomali advocates for humanitarian pardons for Pinochet-era human rights offenders

Cardinal Fernando Chomali has proposed that elderly or ill individuals convicted of human rights violations during the Chilean dictatorship be granted pardons to receive family or institutional care. He also criticized the 'Listen to its Heartbeat' project, suggesting doctors should personally monitor fetal heartbeats rather than using them as a tool for patient interaction. The proposal regarding pardons marks a notable intervention in ongoing debates over transitional justice and the treatment of aging political prisoners.
