Gloria Miqueles, Stella Franceskides and Jose Lavín gather around a table stacked with hundreds of photographs at the archive in the University of East London. They point out familiar faces as they try to put them in order in preparation for activities marking Gen Augusto Pinochet’s London arrest, 25 years on.
“When I heard the news, I jumped up and shouted as if I were celebrating a football goal,” says Lavín, who was a member of Chile’s Communist party when he was detained and tortured during Pinochet’s 17-year brutal regime, which lasted from 1973 to 1990.
