Extradite Pedro Barrientos Nuñez, Victor Jara's executioner.

Created by F.T. on July 31, 2015

Dear President, We, ask you to expedite Chile's Supreme Court request for extradition of Pedro Pablo Barrientos Nuñez, an army officer charged by Chilean tribunals as one of the direct perpetrators of the murder of singer Victor Jara on 9/16/73. Barrientos has lived in the United State since 1990. His last known address was 475 La Vista Dr. Winter Spring, Florida, 32708. Victor Jara was a renowned theater director, poet, singer and composer. After his arrest on 9/11/73, his body was found in a vacant lot with 44 bullets. Your action in accelerating this three-year old request will send a strong message to those on the side of silence and cultural annihilation. "Victor Jara will never die." (P. Seeger). Thank you!
