Socialist Workers Party (US)

                denounces Pinochet arrest

                By David Walsh

                5 November 1998

                The lead editorial in the November 2 edition of the

                Militant, the weekly newspaper of the Socialist

                Workers Party of the US, begins: "The October 17

                arrest of Augusto Pinochet by British police, acting on

                a warrant issued by two judges in Spain, has nothing to

                do with defending human rights and is an attack on the

                sovereignty of Chile. It should be condemned by

                working people, especially in the United Kingdom and

                the United States." . . .
