while fatalities in the battle during the coup might have been relatively small, the chilean security forces sustained 162 dead in the three following months as a result of continued resistance, and tens of thousands of people were arrested during the coup and held in the national stadium. this was because the plans for the coup called for the arrest of every man, woman and child on the streets the morning of 11 september. of these approximately 40,000 to 50,000 perfunctory arrests, several hundred individuals would later be detained, questioned, tortured, and in some cases murdered. while these deaths did not occur before the surrender of allende's forces, they occurred as a direct result of arrests and round-ups during the coup's military action.
