Pinochet responsible for the death of 3,200 of his opponents <ref>http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/pinochet.html</ref>. In 1998, he 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]
