Santiago de Chile, January 27 (RHC)-- In Chile, the Supreme Court has ordered the government to compensate the families of four victims of the Pinochet dictatorship, local media has reported.

The court issued a communique ruling that the murder and forced disappeared of the four victims by henchmen of the dictatorship constitute crimes against humanity and therefore, could not be granted amnesty.

The court ordered the state to pay nearly one million dollars in compensation to family members of Miguel Rojas and his son Gilberto Rojas, who were arrested in 1973 and later, forcibly disappeared by the military. The families of the other two victims will receive 272 thousand dollars each.
