智利司法部周日发表声明称，警方已抓获一名逃犯，该人曾因1973年智利军事独裁时期绑架并杀害标志性创作歌手维克托·哈拉被定罪。
哈拉创作过《和平生活权》（El derecho de vivir en paz）等歌曲，是1960年代智利新歌曲运动的核心人物，该运动兼具音乐与社会变革属性。
前军官纳尔逊·哈斯因哈拉之死被定罪，1973年9月16日，哈拉在奥古斯托·皮诺切特发动针对时任总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德的政变五天后，遭酷刑折磨后被44颗子弹射杀，年仅40岁。
“他遭受了身体酷刑，面部和手部所受击打最为严重，”2023年的法庭文件中写道。

2023年8月28日，也就是政变和哈拉遇刺50周年纪念日前几周，七名退役军官因哈拉被杀案被判处8至25年不等的监禁。
现年80岁的哈斯在其25年刑期宣布后潜逃。
司法部向法新社发送的声明中表示：“已下令逮捕退役军官纳尔逊·哈斯·马塞伊。”
据当地媒体报道，这名前军官在首都以南950公里的洛斯拉各斯地区被抓获。
七名定罪者中的另一名85岁的埃尔南·查孔将军在2023年警方前往逮捕时自杀身亡。其余五人目前在狱中，其中包括佩德罗·巴列里诺斯，他于2023年在佛罗里达州的一次交通拦截中被美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）逮捕。
“1973年9月11日，奥古斯托·皮诺切特将军发动暴力政变，推翻了智利民选总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德，”移民及海关执法局当时发表声明称，“在随后几周内，大量民众在智利体育场被拘留并遭受酷刑，这座室内体育场馆被军方征用为事实上的拘留中心。许多人失踪或被处决。知名民间音乐人维克托·哈拉是最著名的受害者之一。”
2003年，智利体育场以维克托·哈拉的名字重新命名。
哈拉遇刺案被视为智利独裁政权（1973-1990年）犯下的最恶劣罪行之一，该政权造成的遇难和失踪人数总计达3200人。

Police have captured a fugitive who was convicted of kidnapping and murdering iconic singer-songwriter Victor Jara in 1973, during Chile’s military dictatorship, a Justice Department statement said Sunday.
Author of songs such as “El derecho de vivir en paz” (The Right to Live in Peace), Jara was a major figure of New Chilean Song, a musical and social movement of the 1960s.
Former military officer Nelson Haase was convicted of the death of Jara, who was tortured and murdered with 44 bullets on September 16, 1973, five days after Augusto Pinochet’s coup against then-President Salvador Allende. He was 40 years old.
“He was subjected to physical torture, the most severe blows being those he received to his face and hands,” according to court documents from 2023.

On August 28, 2023, weeks before the 50th anniversary of the coup and the assassination of Jara, seven retired military officers were sentenced for his death to prison terms ranging from eight to 25 years.
Haase, 80, fled when his 25-year sentence was announced.
“An order has been issued for the imprisonment of retired military officer Nelson Haase Mazzei,” said the Justice Department statement sent to AFP.
According to local media, the former officer was found in the Los Lagos region, 590 miles south of the capital.
Another of the seven men convicted, General Hernan Chacon, 85, died by suicide when police went to arrest him in 2023. The other five are in prison, including Pedro Barrientos, who was arrested by ICE during a traffic stop in Florida in 2023.
“On Sept. 11, 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a violent coup against Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile,” ICE said in a statement at the time. “In the following weeks, many people were detained and tortured in Chile Stadium, an indoor sports facility that the military commandeered as a de facto detention center. Many disappeared or were executed. Victor Jara, a popular folk musician, was among the most famous victims.”
In 2003, Chile Stadium was renamed after Victor Jara.
The murder of Jara is considered one of the most heinous crimes committed by the dictatorship (1973-1990), which left a toll of 3,200 victims, including both those killed and disappeared.
