Augusto Pinochet documentary prompts protest in Chile
Relatives of victims of Augusto Pinochet's military rule in Chile have protested against plans to pay homage to the late general this weekend.
They held a rally in Santiago, calling for the screening of a new pro-Pinochet documentary to be banned.
The relatives say it is insensitive, but the government says it is a private event and it will not intervene.
More than 3,000 people disappeared or were killed during Gen Pinochet's rule, which ended in 1990.
