Patio 29 is a common grave in Santiago General Cemetery where the victims of mutilation, torture, and execution under the Pinochet military government were buried.[7] Augusto Pinochet came to power in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, where he led the army that attacked the presidential palace and overthrew President Salvador Allende. The military junta replaced constitutional rule for 17 years, under which thousands of Chileans were detained and tortured.[1] The Patio 29 cemetery section is bordered by Mexico Avenue to the north, O'Higgins Avenue to the east, Copihues Street to the south, and Maitenes Street to the west.[2] Though the cemetery changed its section numbering in 1987, the section is still known as Patio 29.[4] The section has 105 graves, though many contained more than one person.[3] The plots remain marked by their original rusted iron cross headstones with burial dates and "NN" for "no name".[4][7][3] Most of the dates fall within the last four months of 1973.[10] The site has not been reused for burials.[4] Folksinger Víctor Jara, a prominent casualty of Pinochet's 1973 coup d'état, lies in a crypt across from Patio 29.[23]
