| | 23-06-03 - Amnesty International - Torture and the Training Ship "Esmeralda" |
 | | In April 2003, the “Esmeralda” set off on her 48th training trip, with plans to call at ports in Peru, Ecuador, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, UK, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina, returning to Chile in October 2003. |
 | | The herald of such endeavours cannot be the "Esmeralda" while her history is debased by an abominable recent past. |
 | | Calling for the withdrawal of the invitation to the "Esmeralda" the Resolution established that "Instead of evoking the pride of the Chilean people, the Esmeralda summons up memories of dead friends and missing relatives, midnight arrests and mysterious disappearances, detention in unknown locations and repression of a democratic nation". |
