The Chilean Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation (MOVILH)
will press charges next week against several Carabineros (militarised police)
for brutally beating a man three times in a single night.
The violent Dec. 22 attacks on Manuel, a 32-year-old security guard, are
described in the latest MOVILH report on the human rights situation of
sexual minorities in Chile, presented Tuesday in Santiago.
But the 152-page document also highlights positive findings, such as a fall
in complaints about homophobia from 58 cases in 2005 to 49 in 2006 -- a 15
percent drop.
