In 1998, Pinochet was arrested in [[London]] pursuant to a warrant issued in [[Spain]] for [[human rights]] violations during his time as Chilean president. Pinochet was subsequently returned to Chile on grounds of ill health, where he was indicted and charged with [[kidnapping]] 19 supporters of Salvador Allende during the 1973 coup in which Pinochet took power. The Chilean [[Supreme Court]] suspended the prosecution in July 2002 due to Pinochet's continuing poor health. [1]
