Chile orders removal of Bernarda Vera from disappeared registry after 50+ years

Chilean authorities have ordered the removal of Bernarda Vera from the official registry of disappeared persons, following a judicial determination that she is alive in Argentina and was not a victim of third-party abduction. This marks a rare institutional correction of a long-standing disappearance record, potentially setting a precedent for other cases. The move signals a shift in state acknowledgment of past errors in human rights documentation.
