Hugh O’Shaughnessy, who has died aged 87, was a distinguished foreign correspondent who spent much of his life reporting on Latin American politics.
He will be best remembered for his coverage of the 1973 military coup in Chile that unseated the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende, and for the bravery he showed in staying on to bring stories of murder and torture under General Pinochet’s dictatorship to millions of readers.
