At the end of November 1976, the men and women concentration camp prisoners were transferred to the Tres Alamos camp in Santiago. Then the iron gates opened and they were free to go. Nobody ever provided any explanation as to why they had spent one, two or three years of their lives behind those wire fences."

Gee, if they didn't know by then they couldn't have been too bright. I've heard that prison camp gossip spreads like wild fire.

...then the iron gates opened and they were free to go.

Why didn't these folks get exterminated? That's not consistent with a "brutal dictator".

Gee, maybe they did not have any specific charges brought against them.

Some Iraqis survived years in the prisons of Saddam Hussein.
