Ex-Chilean strongman Augusto Pinochet was placed under house arrest on Monday based on human rights violations during several years of his rule. In his ruling, Judge Alejandro Solis declared that “Augusto Pinochet (image)... has been arrested as a danger to society given the grave charges against him. But due to his age ... he has been granted house arrest.” Indeed Pinochet’s lawyer said that he will use his client’s advance age and deteriorated health as tools to appeal Judge Solis’ edict.
