Bush Sued in Chile Over Prisoner Abuse

Wed Oct 27, 1:18 AM ET


SANTIAGO, Chile - A coalition of small leftist political groups has sued President Bush (news - web sites) and other U.S. government officials for the abuses against prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (news - web sites).

The lawsuit was filed the Communist Party, the Humanist Party and Leftist Revolutionary Movement at the Santiago Court of Appeals, which did not immediately decide whether it will hear the case.

The action was widely considered symbolic. Supporters described it as an "act of dignity" that "represents millions of Chileans who reject the violence and terrorism represented by the figure of Bush."

Also mentioned in the law suit were Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites), Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and former Iraq Administrator Paul Bremer.
